Are you a newly qualified or experienced School Nurse who is passionate about giving children and young people the best possible start in life?
Do you want to work in a transforming service that is committed to increasing and improving the School Nursing offer? Do you seek a fulfilling role where you are valued, and your professional development is supported?
We are searching for enthusiastic and dynamic School Nurses to influence the transformation of the Healthy Child Programme offer in York. We are committed to maintaining the public health nature of the service and focusing on improving health outcomes for children and young people in York.
York is a great place to live and work and is well above the national average in health, wellbeing, and happiness. However, we know that isn’t the case for everybody and that is where our 0-19 Healthy Child Service comes in.
The City of York Council wants to make a real difference and are passionate about putting the health back into School Nursing. Rated Good by CQC, working as a School Nurse in York offers a great opportunity to be proactive in the delivery of the Healthy Child programme while providing a high-quality service to clients.
As part of the Healthy Child Service team, you will be working alongside a range of partners providing support to children, young people, and families across the Family Hub Network. The roles are based in Family Hubs across the city, and there may be the opportunity for some home/hybrid working. We provide all of our contacts with children and families in person and encourage office presence to support team morale.
