Are you looking for a new challenge? A new year role at James Hopkins Trust could be just what you’re looking for.

We’re looking for a Paediatric Nurse to join our team, where every day is jam-packed with giggles, play, and unforgettable moments. Our goal is to create a supportive, inclusive environment for children who are life-limited, life-threatened, or living with severe disabilities.
Don’t worry if you’re not a palliative care pro, we’ll give you all the training you need to be a star!

As a Respite Nurse, you’ll be a vital part of our Nursing Team, helping to provide top-notch care and support for medically fragile children and babies. You’ll build lasting relationships with the children and their families, working alongside Senior Nurses, Health Care Assistants, and Play Specialists. Whether you’re a solo act or part of the team, you’ll be a self-starter with a can-do attitude, always ready to learn and grow. We’ll even give you opportunities to boost your skills with regular training and development. So, what do you say? Are you ready to be a hero in the lives of these amazing families and their children?
