Job Description

Fixed Term | Full Time



We are looking for a dedicated and experienced Registered Nurse with a current NMC registration and a full driving licence. You will bring a solid background in mentorship and a strong commitment to ongoing professional development.



Confident in fast-paced settings, you demonstrate effective leadership and possess in-depth knowledge of the health needs of children, young people, and their families. Your excellent communication and coordination skills, combined with your ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, make you an essential contributor to delivering high-quality, responsive care.



Reporting to the Team Leader



Support the Team Leader in managing complex situations, including participation in investigations related to disciplinary matters and other concerns, in line with Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust (SCNHSFT) policies and the established governance framework.



You'll manage caseloads, guide a skill-mixed team, and support governance processes.



As the lead nurse, you'll represent the service in strategic initiatives, foster multi-agency partnerships, and champion safe, effective care. This is a chance to influence change, drive service improvement, and lead by example in a dynamic and supportive environment.

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.
