About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic and enthusiastic nurse to join our friendly team in East Kent. The Children’s Therapies service provides Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Care Co-ordination services to CYP aged 0-19.
Care co-ordination is a service for babies and children (up to the age of 12) who present with an identified developing condition or disability which is impacting on, or has the potential to significantly impact upon their long-term development and/or function.
The post is suited to a nurse with experience of working with children and families in the community and who works well in a multidisciplinary team. We currently offer a hybrid work pattern for staff with a combination of face to face and virtual working.
Main Duties

- Support in the supervision and development of staff.
- Actively work as a member of the children’s therapies team to provide high quality care to service users.
- Act as lead and support for care co-ordinators, managing the care co-ordination pathways.
- Work with key colleagues (ie education and health) in order to support multi agency models of service delivery.
