Title: Band 6 Nurse
Company: Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust
Location: Romford, England, United Kingdom
This is a permanent role with part-time opportunity available (.74 WTE). An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and experienced Children’s Nurse to join the Children’s Community Nursing Team (CCNT), providing care for children and young people across Redbridge. The service operates within the Children’s Directorate and works closely with the Children’s Community Nursing Services in Barking and Havering.
The post holder will work autonomously in the home setting, demonstrating clinical expertise and a commitment to delivering high-quality, family-centred care. Excellent communication skills, a positive approach to service development, and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary and multi-agency teams are essential. Ongoing professional development is actively supported. Applicants must hold a full clean UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle.
Our busy Children’s Services operate across Queen’s Hospital, Romford, and King George’s Hospital, Ilford, providing a wide range of medical and surgical care. This includes two inpatient wards (one with a co-located four-bedded HDU), a CYPAU unit, a day unit with POSCU and haematology services, outpatient clinics with a GP ‘hot clinic’, a team of Clinical Nurse Specialists, and the Children’s Community Nursing Team. We also have a 32-cot Level 2 NICU with community and outreach support for discharged babies.
Children’s emergency care is delivered across two busy Emergency Departments, with a four-bedded Fit to Sit CCDU at Queen’s Hospital. The team is expanding and led by the Divisional Director of Nursing and Head of Nursing for Children and Young People. This role will be led by a Band 8a Lead Nurse for Children’s Community Nursing and supported by a senior nursing and multidisciplinary team. Staff benefit from corporate training, in-house leadership programmes, and university partnerships to support career progression.
Deliver safe, evidence-based nursing care to children and young people in community settings. Assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individualised care plans.
Manage a caseload of children with complex and long-term health needs.
Provide specialist interventions including IV therapy, enteral feeding, tracheostomy care, and ventilation support.
Identify clinical deterioration and escalate concerns appropriately.
Maintain accurate, timely electronic patient records in line with Trust policy.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries – live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
Some of the positive changes we’ve made are captured in this film.
