Children and Young People's Nurse

We are seeking to recruit motivated practitioners with initiative and drive who are keen to contribute to the further development of our integrated Children's Health service.

The Children's Health Service 0-19, alongside others support the delivery of the Healthy Child Programme across Lincolnshire for Children, Young People and their families (aged 0-19 years) and up to the age of 25 years for Young People with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

The CYPN are a small and supportive team who work across the county. They work to ensure children and young people (CYP) aged 5-19 years (25 SEND), and their families can access support on a range of topics with a strong focus on public health.

The team supports children and young people (CYP) whose health and/or medical needs affect their access to education. They work collaboratively with colleagues across Lincolnshire County Council, including the Pupil Reintegration Team (PRT), Children's Services (Childrens Centres, Early Help, Social Care, Family Hubs, Inclusion and Attendance), and Children's Health services such as Health Visiting Teams. They also liaise with external partners, including education providers and GPs, to promote inclusion, remove barriers to learning, improve outcomes, and reduce health inequalities for children, young people, and their families., Under the supervision of the Senior Children & Young People's Nurse, assess and deliver care programmes/packages that promote a child or young person's health, safety and development and that support a child or young person's individual health needs that are outside of the responsibility of specialist health care services, e.g. continence, enuresis, nutrition and healthy weights across a wide range of platforms.

- Work with the Children's Health Service, developing and maintaining appropriate relationships with individuals, families, service users and stakeholders, and support an integrated provision of services to children, young people and their families as part of the Council's Early Help approach including completion of Early Help assessments.

- Where relevant, liaise with other members of the 0-19 (25 SEND) children's services workforce, e.g. Children Missing in Education Team, Pupil Reintegration, Electively Home Educated Team, Youth Justice, Family Help and Social Care, to identify/agree how the needs of the child or young person are best met and when/where additional support is required.

- Under the supervision of the Senior Children & Young People's Nurse, deliver specific health interventions/care programmes based on initial health assessments to children and young people where there are long term health needs and/or medical issues impacting education., Relevant to the child's individual needs, and act in accordance with safeguarding policy and procedures.
