An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Band 7 nurse or Band 6 nurse looking to advance your career.
About the Role
As the lead nurse for level 1 critical care, you will work alongside the paediatric critical care consultant, paediatric matron and senior staff. This role requires that you have not only significant experience in level 1 paediatric critical care but also the leadership and management skills to ensure any guidelines or policies required to support the paediatric critical care service are developed and implemented across all paediatric areas.
Whilst this post is based within the paediatric unit the successful applicant will be required to work very closely with the paediatric emergency department team.
We are seeking an individual who is proactive, innovative, and able to work collaboratively and independently to develop a co-ordinated and responsive service for our patients.
Although this role generally requires a weekday work pattern, there will be a need for the successful applicant to work flexibly clinically and to support practice.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
