A fantastic opportunity has arisen to appoint a skilled, motivated, and enthusiastic Registered Children's Nurse to join the Safeguarding  Team. The Specialist Nurse Safeguarding Children role is an exciting opportunity to develop your professional practice, and leadership skills. 

This role will support the safeguarding children agenda but the ethos of our Safeguarding Team is that all specialists cross-cover in the absence of colleagues, so you should expect to develop a working knowledge of other safeguarding sub-specialities including safeguarding unborns and adults. 

This role will require an in-depth knowledge of safeguarding and associated agendas / national guidance including application of the Care Act and Mental Capacity Act.
