Nurse Band 6

We have an opportunity for experienced Nurses to join our small, supportive team. Our team is led and managed by an Epilepsy Nurse Consultant, 6 Nurses, 3 Healthcare Assistants, a Pharmacy Advisor and Assistant and our Administrator. The students we support have a variety of complex health care needs, so our Teaching and Residential teams need the backup and support of an experienced and varied Nursing Team., You will have responsibility for the planning, implementation and evaluation of individualised nursing care. You will also work autonomously within the team as a key Nurse, ensuring that a holistic approach to the health care needs of the students is maintained.

• A registered Nurse with a degree, or equivalent, in Nursing, and proven post registration experience
• A strong team ethic and first class communication skills
• A flexible approach is essential as you will be required to work some unsocial hours
• The ability to remain calm and confident under pressure is also required
  
  Young Epilepsy is the children and young peoples epilepsy charity. Our purpose is to create a society in which children and young people with epilepsy are enabled to thrive and fulfil their potential, in which their voices are respected, and their ambitions realised.
We work with children and young people across the country, as well as many of those people and organisations who shape their lives - parents, health and care professionals, researchers, teachers, policymakers and more. Informed by young people and drawing on our strong legacy of expertise in education, health and research, we have developed and published our new 2020-2025 strategy. This focuses our work around 4 offers; Learning, Health, Research and Information, with firm foundations in our three value statements:
• Young people are at the centre of everything we do
• We work together to make a greater difference
• We are courageous and ambitious for change
These values will ensure that we always put the voices, the rights and the best interests of children and young people first and commit us to working in partnerships that can increase our impact. They also ensure that we are inspired by the courage and ambition of the young people with whom we work, knowing that together, we can drive the change in society and services we all want to see.
