Childrens Clinical Homecare Nurse

HealthNet Homecare are specialists in delivering homecare services for patients, from medical deliveries to nursing support for both children and adults in the community.

Working with over 180,000 patients across numerous different therapy areas, our dedicated team offers support to patients with rare and orphan diseases right through to more common conditions. Our aim is to make the lives of our patients and their families easier by taking the stress out of managing their medication and ensuring they are confident they are in safe hands with HealthNet.

We are looking for a Childrens Clinical Homecare Nurse to join our nursing team. Children's nurses at HealthNet have the unique opportunity to support children and adults in the community either at home, school, or work to receive their treatment while continuing with their daily lives.

The role of a Homecare Nurse makes such a difference to our patients who can receive the medical care they need in the comfort of their own homes, school, or place of work. The patients we visit may have growth hormone deficiency, autoimmune, or rare and orphan conditions.

As a homecare nurse, we are fortunate to be able to give one-to-one care to our patients whether it is teaching a patient or carer to administer an injection or administering more complex IV therapies.

If you're a qualified Childrens nurse looking for a career where you can be part of making a real difference to the quality of life for both our paediatric and adult patients by applying your passion, drive, and skillsets in an ever-changing environment that is healthcare, then HealthNet Homecare is the place for you to join our busy, growing team!
