Fixed term: 12 months | 37.5hrs per week
We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Nurse to join our dynamic team. You will assess the health needs and direct resources to meet the needs of vulnerable children and young people (CYP).
You’ll be a registered Nurse with training in CYP care, and have post-registration experience working with CYP and their families, especially in community settings and with children who are Looked After.
This is a fantastic opportunity for professional development and making a significant impact on young people’s lives. If you’re motivated, organised and enjoy working as part of a team, we’d love to hear from you.
Reporting into the Named Nurse for Children Looked After, your responsibilities will include:
Work with the Named Nurse for Children Looked After and other specialists to develop and deliver services for hard-to-reach young people.
Help improve health and wellbeing outcomes for Children Looked After and Care Leavers in Sheffield through health assessments, health care reviews, health promotions, and tailored interventions.
Collaborate within a multi-agency team to support the holistic care of children and young people.
Follow the guidance of ‘Promoting The Health and Wellbeing of Looked After Children’ (DH & DoE 2015) and other relevant documentation.
At Sheffield Children’s, our purpose is clear: to provide healthier futures for children and young people. Our three strategic aims are Outstanding Patient Care, Brilliant Place to Work, and Leaders in Children’s Health.
We work with partners across local, regional, and national levels to deliver physical and mental healthcare in both acute and community settings. Many of our clinicians are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.
We’re proud that 73% of colleagues would recommend Sheffield Children’s as a place to work, placing us among the top five NHS trusts in England — and the top-ranked trust in the North East and Yorkshire — in the latest NHS Staff Survey.
Our nearly 4,000 colleagues bring our CARE values — Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence — to life every day, creating a kind, welcoming environment where patients and families feel safe and supported.
As we approach our 150th anniversary in 2026, we’re excited to keep building our leadership in children’s health, improve experiences for patients and staff, and focus on our communities and population health.
We also offer excellent benefits to support your wellbeing, with generous annual leave and pension schemes, health and wellbeing programmes, and exclusive discounts — helping you thrive at work and beyond.
