The post holder would be using advanced skills and knowledge to care for young children and adolescents with complex emotional and physical needs relating to a thrombotic condition or their bleeding disorder. In conjunction with the Paediatric Haemophilia Nurse Specialists, you would be responsible for planned and emergency outpatients, administering treatments and the provision of education and support for inpatients within the Trust. Additionally you would be expected to advise and guide health care professionals in the regional hospitals and provide ongoing support and education to patients, their wider families and occasionally schools and colleges. 

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to develop and maintain relationships with patients with long term conditions and their families and the wider multi-disciplinary team are essential, as is effective time management

Some experience and understanding of haematological conditions would be desirable, but is not essential as full training and support will be provided. This is an excellent opportunity to transfer your existing skills, knowledge and experience, to enhance your professional development and develop your career in a supportive setting.
