Our fantastic, purpose built Paediatric Emergency Department needs you! We are a very busy department seeing in excess of 30000 children per year. They are seen, and treated, within the unit which boasts a separate waiting area for adolescents, a dedicated CAMHS room, a sensory treatment room and an HDU level bay within the department.

We also have 2 separate resuscitation bays for critical paediatric patients and a close working relationship with The South Thames Retrieval Service.

This is staffed by Paediatric Advanced Nurse Practitioners and GP's who have a supported working relationship with the Paediatric ED team.

Our team is growing and we require dynamic outgoing Paediatric staff nurses to join our renowned emergency team, delivering high quality care to patients presenting with a variety of conditions. Feedback from medical staff who rotate through is that we are one of the best ED teams they have worked with! We can offer a friendly and supportive team where we strive to develop our nurses to be confident and competent in their practice. We hold regular simulation sessions, teaching and team away days, we also run regular well-being sessions for all staff to attend. Management have an open door policy, and regularly work clinically alongside the team in the unit.
