Thank you for your interest in joining this special charity!
This charity is committed to a singular vision: a fulfilled life for everyone affected by spinal cord injury. Everyone has a right to live a fulfilled life and that means the life they choose, a life that has the same opportunities as everyone else. This organisation is the expert guiding voice for life after spinal cord injury.
Make a life‑changing impact
Join the organisation's Health & Care Quality team and use your specialist spinal cord injury (SCI) nursing expertise to transform the experiences of people living with SCI across the North East of England. This region includes diverse and vibrant areas such as Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire – giving you the opportunity to work autonomously while making a meaningful, visible difference across a wide geographical area.
What makes this role special?
As an SCI Specialist Nurse, you’ll be the critical link between individuals with SCI, their families, and the wider healthcare system—ensuring they receive safe, high‑quality, and truly person‑centred care wherever they are treated.
Your impact
- Support people with newly acquired spinal cord injuries who are not admitted into specialist services.
- Assist individuals with established SCI who return to hospital for treatment unrelated to their impairment.
Through telephone, email, or in‑person visits, you’ll provide expert guidance, advocacy and reassurance. You’ll help people navigate issues around treatment and care and you’ll work closely with hospital teams to ensure best practice standards are met—championing excellence every step of the way.
Share your expertise
A key part of your role will be educating and empowering healthcare professionals in non‑specialist settings. You’ll contribute to training and learning programmes through the organisation's academy, helping to raise the standard of SCI awareness and care across the region.
Lead with influence
Using your clinical expertise, you may also support individuals through elements of the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) process, including attendance at reviews or appeals. Your input will help ensure fair, informed decisions for those you support.
Drive service improvement
You’ll play an active role in evaluating and developing the SCI Specialist Nurse service, contributing to monitoring processes and helping shape the future of SCI support across the UK.
Benefits: Annual leave: 28 days per holiday year plus
