Were expanding our team and are looking for more Nurses to join our charity.

Youll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.

Main duties of the job
As a member of the Noahs Ark Nurse and Specialist Care team, youll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their care needs, youll get to know whats important to each child you support whether its knowing what their favorite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noahs Ark its so important that each child is treated as an individual. Youll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.

And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, youll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care youll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their childs condition. By creating this time, youll be creating choice something which can feel impossible for the families we support.

Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. Youll be a guiding reassuring presence for families and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible. Youll be providing essential symptom management to help to bring comfort. During this time youll continue to treat each child and family as individual by taking the time to understand what is important to them.

About us
A natural and experienced leader, youll deliver high quality and effective training to other members of the team and family members

We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers. Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesnt fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis. Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a family's home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet. We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
