Paediatric Community Nurse

RJS Resourcing is looking for a Registered Children’s Nurse who would like to take their clinical skills beyond the traditional hospital setting.

This community-based role involves visiting children and adults in their homes, schools or workplaces to provide planned treatments, clinical monitoring and practical education. You will manage your own daily visits while remaining supported by an experienced clinical and scheduling team.

Package:

• £41,000 annual salary

• Permanent contract

• 37.5-hour working week

• £5,000 annual car allowance or company vehicle

• Fuel card

• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays

• Workplace pension

• Full training for the specialist treatments you will deliver

• Continued professional development

• Opportunities to build specialist skills and progress your clinical career

Patients receive treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including those relating to oncology, neurology, immunology, rheumatology, gastroenterology and rare diseases.

Responsibilities

Your working day will involve travelling between patients and delivering individualised clinical care. Depending on each patient’s treatment plan, this may include:

• Administering intravenous, subcutaneous and biologic treatments

• Taking blood samples and completing clinical observations

• Providing cannulation and line care

• Carrying out patient assessments and reporting any concerns

• Helping patients, parents and carers understand their treatment

• Teaching safe self-administration techniques

• Supporting patients to become more confident and independent

• Completing telephone and video consultations where appropriate

• Liaising with hospitals, healthcare professionals and internal clinical teams

• Maintaining clear and accurate electronic records

The position offers greater continuity and more meaningful one-to-one contact than is often possible within a busy hospital environment.

Requirements

• Current NMC registration as a Children’s Nurse

• A full UK driving licence

• The confidence to work independently in patients’ homes

• Flexibility to travel across Greater London

• Strong communication and patient-education skills

• Basic IT skills and the ability to maintain electronic clinical records

Previous experience in community care, complex care, homecare nursing, cannulation, venepuncture, IV therapy or accessing ports would be advantageous but is not essential.

Applicants with three or more years of post-registration experience are particularly encouraged to apply.

Important travel information

This is a mobile nursing position involving regular and sometimes extensive travel throughout London.

There is no fixed local patch or guaranteed travel radius, as appointments are arranged according to patient need. You must therefore be comfortable driving to any area of London, with some journeys between visits potentially exceeding two hours.

If you are a Children’s Nurse seeking greater independence, specialist training and the chance to provide focused care in a patient’s own environment, apply through RJS Resourcing today. We work across the sector so if this is not the perfect match other roles on our books may be available
