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.
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.
Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families 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. During this time you’ll continue to treat each child and family as 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
ABOUT YOU
You’ll be an experienced Nurse (Band 5 equivalent) with excellent clinical and communication skills. You’ll be able to work collaboratively with experience leading a multi-skilled team, or can demonstrable experience of leadership with the support from a lead nurse.
Aside from experience, we look for individuals who share our core values of kindness, excellence and courage. We’ll support you to go above and beyond to be there for the children and families we support – we ask that you share this mission with us.
You’ll thrive working autonomously, confident in your ability to deliver care on your own out in the community. You’ll know the value of collaboration, and will work closely with your team members, other healthcare professionals and the families you support to provide the very best care.
Creativity and play will be central to your approach to care, with the ability to build long-term relationships with the children and families you care for.
You’ll be qualified in Children’s Nursing and have completed your nursing preceptorship.
Kindly see attached job description for more information about this opportunity.
