As a registered paediatric nurse, you will be working alongside experienced Band 5 paediatric nurses and an HCA, caring for children aged 3-18, admitted for day surgery.

Shifts can be flexible to suit the team and we work either Early (07.00 – 13.00 hrs), Late (12.00 – 20.00hrs) or Long Day (07.00 – 20.00hrs).
Although the main part of the role is centered around inpatient care, there will be opportunity to support children attending clinics in the OPD dept for consultations across the specialties including: maxillo-facial, ENT, gynaecology, orthopaedics, urology and of course paediatrics.
We are the main provider of private paediatric surgery in SE Kent, and are now pleased to be directly supporting the NHS paediatric service by working alongside them. By expanding our service to Canterbury, we can help more children receive the surgery they need, at the time they need it and in the right environment.
