Description

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced nurse to join our friendly team. It is part of a job-share Clinical Coordinator position to lead the department within the Mon-Fri service demand.

Children's Outpatients is a very busy department seeing children per week. We have multidisciplinary clinics Monday to Friday, as well as Nurse Led Clinics.

There are a variety of specialities seen within Outpatients including Paediatric surgery, Diabetes, Opthalmology, Paediatric allergy, Epilepsy, Cystic Fibrosis, Gastroenterology and many more.

You will be expected to work as a member of the multidisciplinary team to assist with the planned care of children and their families, and work closely with Paediatric Medical Records, Appointments and with our Medical and Nursing multidisciplinary teams.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley.

With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham.

We also provide some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

As an organisation, we've made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years.

This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of "Good" in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of "Good" that we had already achieved in the Caring domain.

Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust's improvement journey, as we've stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention.

We've also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams.

In the absence of the Matron, you will coordinate the overall management of the department working with the multi professional team.

You will be expected to:

To utilise and develop specialist skills in order to provide the highest standard of assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of individualised patient care.
To promote a friendly and supportive atmosphere for parents and relatives in which they can learn to care for their children.
To utilise a variety of strategies to communicate effectively with the child's family/carers, the multidisciplinary team, other departments with the trust and pertinent agencies outside the organisation.
To actively participate in and contribute to the management of the clinical area.
To act as a mentor, teaching and supervising junior staff including student nurses and health care support workers.
