We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced paediatric nurse to join our Children's Outreach Assessment and Support Team (COAST) across Portsmouth and South East Hampshire.
COAST provides responsive, nurse-led care for babies, children and young people with acute and short-term healthcare needs. Working closely with our Acute CCN colleagues, hospital paediatric teams, GPs and wider MDT, we assess and support children in the community, helping to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and facilitating early discharge wherever possible.

You will work autonomously whilst being supported by an experienced and highly skilled team with access to specialist paediatric advice.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop acute assessment skills, expand your community experience and be part of an innovative service delivering care closer to home.
What we offer:
- Advanced assessment and clinical decision-making opportunities
