We are seeking an experienced and motivated Nurse to join our Children’s Continuing Care Team as a Senior Practitioner, supporting children and young people with complex and evolving health needs across Islington, Camden, and Haringey.
You will lead on clinical practice, case management, and service development for children with complex physical health conditions, autism, and behaviours that challenge access to healthcare. This role involves working collaboratively with families, schools, the ICB, social care, and multi-disciplinary teams to ensure safe, high-quality, and coordinated care in community settings.
We welcome applications from adult-trained nurses with relevant paediatric experience, as well as those with a background in learning disability nursing and mental health. We also understand that moving into a band 7 leadership role can be daunting and offer band 6 developmental roles, allowing an individual to start as a 6 with a clear plan to progress to a 7.
As a senior nurse, you will:
- Provide supervision and leadership to junior staff.
- Take a lead role in safeguarding and risk management.
- Advocate strongly for the voice of the child.
- Contribute to quality improvement and innovation within the service.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief.

We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
