Are you someone who enjoys spending time with children and young people, providing fun filled opportunities and creating special memories? If so, we'd love to hear from you!
We offer a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment where our children, young people, families and workforce are at the heart of everything we do, in striving to make each day enjoyable for everyone.
You can make a real difference to the lives of babies, children and young people who have palliative care needs and life limiting conditions, keeping them at the centre of everything that we do – alongside supporting our families throughout their journey from referral to end of life and bereavement support.
It is often said that being in palliative care nursing is a real honour and privilege but it is frequently overlooked as a career pathway. Here are St Andrew’s, we strive to make every second count. We aim to bring joy, happiness and laughter to our Children’s Services, and support tears and sad times with the utmost care and compassion.
Every baby, child, young person and family are different, every conversation and everything we put into place for our families is supported with an individualised plan of care. You will have a wonderful opportunity to work with children and families having time to make a difference and time to care – this is what makes our organisation special.
