Are you a registered Nursing Associate or due to qualify within 3 months?



If so the Children's Ward 30 and Children's Urgent Care are recruiting and would love to hear from you.



We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Nursing Associate to join our Children's Services team.



We provide a bespoke and comprehensive training and education package.



Children's Inpatient Unit (Ward 30)



Ward 30 is a Children's Inpatient Unit that was purpose built in 2016. The unit includes 35 inpatient beds and a two-bedded stabilisation area. The ward has an adolescent room, school room, play room and sensory room. The ward cares for a diverse population of patients including medical, surgical and those with medical complexities.



Children's Urgent Care



The Children's Emergency Department (ED), Children's Clinical Decisions Area (CCDA) and Short Stay became one unit in November 2023.



Children's ED is a busy department who currently see large volumes of children every year in an area specifically dedicated to children. Children who are attending with urgent care complaints are streamed straight to this area.



CCDA sees children referred from GPs, children with direct access and children sent from ED requiring a further assessment. The short stay area is for children who require a prolonged period of observation but who are unlikely to need a full admission to hospital, this could include fluid challenges, spacing of inhalers and review by other specialities.



A team of clinical skills educators will be on hand with a supportive and robust training package across both inpatients and urgent care.



Our People Charter outlines the behaviours we can expect from one another and what you can expect from Bradford Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust:



We value people



We are one team



We care



We're keen to meet people who share these values and are passionate about delivering the highest quality of care to our patients.
