Job Overview
This is a great opportunity for newly qualified and experienced Nurses to join our team and be part of something amazing. We pride ourselves on the support we give our new staff and believe that our ward creates the perfect learning environment. We are looking for suitably qualified, dynamic, inspired and enthusiastic Nurses who have a passion to care and are always looking to make it better.
Working closely with our Emergency Department we look after acutely ill children. We have an 8 bedded Children's Assessments Unit within which our staff are able to develop skills in triage and PGD. On our ward we provide advanced care to children requiring interventions such as tracheostomy care, CPAP or high flow oxygen. We are commissioned to provide care for children with oncology needs in our dedicated, 3 bedded, purpose built area.
We also have an experienced team of specialist nurses in Gastroenterology, Respiratory, Epilepsy and Oncology who support our patients and learning needs of our team. At The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital we have a Children's Out Patient facility along with a Medical day unit.

Hospital Transformation Programme (HTP)

We are actively recruiting, and successful candidates will be expected to move with the Service in early 2028. The relocation will follow a formal management of change process, including full consultation and support for staff.
