Community Public Health Nurse (5-19 Service)

This post presents an exciting opportunity to become part of the 5-19 team and be supported and guided by our service development lead.

Our School Nurses work with children and their families both in schools and in the home environment to improve health and social outcomes and make a real difference in a true multi-agency environment. Applicants must be confident in working autonomously as well as part of a team.

The office base for this post is at New Mills however, due to the nature of the role, applicants must be able to travel independently across the locality which stretches from Glossop to Matlock, and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes. It will also be necessary to travel to other parts of Derbyshire on occasion to undergo training and attend service meetings.

We are a fast paced, innovative, dedicated team that requires skills including a positive attitude, flexibility, and the ability to communicate effectively, as well as being motivated, well organised and able to work on your own initiative and being a team player.

You will have a passion for promoting public health and supporting children, young people and their families to adopt healthy lifestyles.

Applications are welcome from registered nurses, ideally with post-qualification experience, and an interest in developing their skills in working with children and their families within a community public health and multi-agency environment.
