You will be able to demonstrate knowledge of safeguarding and be confident in delivering training to school staff and carers.

You will be responsible for implementing assessments, management of medical clinics, provision of clinical care, management of medication, safeguarding and support to education staff, parents and students, ensuring a high quality service for children, their parents, adult patients and the professional colleagues involved.

You will be supported in the school by a Special School Nursing Assistant and will be part of a wider team of Special School Nurses from special schools across CLCH, the Children's Community Nursing Team and be supported by The Children's Specialist Nursing Service Manager.
