We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Nurses to join our charity.
You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.
This will be perfect for you if you are looking for a part-time role - Minimum hours 22.5 hours on a variety of shifts.
ABOUT NOAH'S ARK CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers.
Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesn’t fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis.
Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a families home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet.
We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Nurses to join your charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.
As a member of the Noah’s Ark Nurse and Specialist Care team, you’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their care needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support – whether it’s knowing what their favorite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual. You’ll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.
And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, you’ll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care you’ll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their child’s condition. By creating this time, you’ll be creating choice – something which can feel impossible for the families we support.
You’ll join our experienced nursing team to help provide a 24/7, on-call symptom assessment/management service for babies, children and young people in The Ark and out in the community.
Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families elevating anxiety and worry and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible. You’ll be providing essential symptom management to help to bring comfort. As well as giving the choice of preferred place of care and preferred place of death.
During this time, you’ll continue to treat each child and family as an individual by taking the time to understand what is important to them. You’ll help to create memories to enable as good a death as possible.
A natural and experienced leader, you’ll deliver high quality and effective training to other members of the team and family members. You’ll provide direct line management support to Band 5 Nurses and Band 3 & 4 Specialist Carers.
ABOUT YOU
With excellent clinical and communication skills, you’ll either be an experienced Band 5 Nurse with palliative care experience, ready to take a step upwards in your career, or a Band 6 Nurse already working in the palliative care sector or have previous palliative care experience. You’ll have at least one years experience caring for children with complex care needs. You’ll have experience managing a nursing team, or experience of supporting students, junior staff nurses or support workers.
You’ll be able to work collaboratively, experienced in leading a multi-skilled team, or can demonstrable experience of leadership with the support from a lead n...

Making a Difference Every Day – Join Carr Gomm as a Relief Support Practitioner in Forth Valley
Are you looking for a fulfilling role that makes a positive impact in your local community? At Carr Gomm, we are offering a unique opportunity to become a Relief Support Practitioner and make a real impact in the lives of both carers and their loved ones.
About Us
Carr Gomm is a leading social care and community development charity. Our service in Forth Valley provides respite breaks to people with caring responsibilities. We believe in the power of person-centred support and the importance of ensuring that carers have the chance to take a break when needed. Our support helps to keep people in their own homes, surrounded by familiarity and comfort.
About the Role
As a Relief Support Practitioner, you’ll be the helping hand that carers rely on. Your role involves providing respite care, allowing carers the well-deserved break they need. Your time with the person you support might include chatting and spending time together, helping with simple meal preparation, and assisting with personal care tasks like washing or getting dressed. You will provide respectful support to help with their daily needs.
We value flexibility, and our support visits can be tailored to work around your other commitments, whether it’s childcare, studies, or other responsibilities.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for caring people who have a genuine passion for making a positive impact in their community. You do not need professional experience to join us. We provide comprehensive induction training to all new team members.
Working with Carr Gomm
Hear from Dion, one of our Support Practitioners in Inverness:
A typical day for me would be starting at 9.30-10.00. Then I would maybe pick up a supported person and we would go for a coffee or to the shops or stay at home and maybe do things they cannot do for themselves like make lunch, have a cup of tea. We would maybe watch some tv, listen to the radio and chat. Every supported person is different and that’s what’s great about support work every day is never the same.
I enjoy working in social care as it’s a very rewarding job. You are making a difference to someone’s life by helping them do things they cannot generally do, and they really appreciate any help you give them.
You are making such a difference to people’s lives even just by a tiny thing that you might do for them. The people I have worked with are so appreciative. Some days it doesn’t feel like work because I get on so well with everybody I have supported and taking someone just for a coffee is like a normal thing you would do with a friend, but it really means a lot to the person you support.”
Our Impact
The Carr Gomm Charity Shop supports a range of projects and activities for people we help across the Highland. Many of these initiatives focus on reducing social isolation by creating opportunities for connection and creativity within their local communities.
