An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Nurse with significant experience of working with Children in Care, to join our caring and compassionate team who wants to make a real difference to the children we work with.
This role offers a fantastic opportunity to be part of a trauma-informed innovative team, become an expert nurse, use your clinical analysis skills autonomously, and be an evidenced-based practitioner.
