Are you a nursing professional looking to develop your career? Are you passionate about improving health outcomes for children and families? Put community at the heart of your practice with TeamNEL. We are recruiting for a Public Health Nurse in our Health Visiting Team on a full time (37.5 hrs) fixed term (2 Year) basis. This is a unique opportunity for a registered nurse looking to make the next step in your nursing career. This role aligns work‑life balance, career development and making a real difference to our communities.

What will your day look like?

You will be undertaking health assessments and reporting any concerns or problems back to the practitioner for health education and health promotion as decided by senior staff. You will share a caseload of children aged 0‑5 years (including children with special educational needs and disabilities), taking the lead from public health colleagues where need is identified. You will contribute to the realisation of the outcomes for North East Lincolnshire, in particular to enable all people in our communities to feel safe and to have good health and wellbeing, and to realise their potential through skills and learning. This will be achieved through the effective delivery of a range of support to young people and families in the locality, in order to improve their health and wellbeing and reduce the need for statutory intervention.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for a nursing colleague truly committed to providing remarkable care — someone who sees every interaction as an opportunity to make a positive difference. You’ll be passionate about helping people and driven to support children, families, and communities every single day. Strong communication skills are essential — not just to share information clearly, but to build trust, listen actively, and collaborate effectively.

Why join us?

We offer flexibility and a strong commitment to work‑life balance, and you will be part of a team that values your wellbeing, respects your profession and encourages your professional development. Every day, our colleagues make a meaningful difference in the lives of local children and families. You’ll be part of a team that’s trusted, respected, and deeply rooted in the area we serve.
