Band 5 Looked After Children's Nurse

Are you a passionate, NMC-registered Band 5 Nurse ready to take the next step after completing your preceptorship?

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is seeking motivated nurses to join our specialist Looked After Children (LAC) Service.

This is a rewarding community role focused specifically on improving outcomes for children and young people in care.

You will deliver holistic health assessments, develop SMART care plans, and support emotional, physical and developmental wellbeing for a highly vulnerable group.

Working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team, you will build meaningful relationships with children, carers and partner agencies, acting as a key advocate and trusted professional.

This role offers excellent development opportunities, including training and ongoing professional support.

If you are committed to safeguarding, reducing health inequalities and making a lasting difference in childrens lives, we would love to hear from you.
