We are looking for a compassionate and highly motivated children's nurse with excellent clinical knowledge, strong organisational skills and outstanding communication and interpersonal abilities. You will be confident in leading a team, making sound clinical decisions and coordinating the delivery of safe, effective and compassionate care within a fast-paced environment.
