Applications are invited from experienced Paediatric Nurses to join the busy mixed Paediatric Inpatient Ward team in a Band 6 post on the beautiful Island of Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. 
This role is initially offered on a nine month fixed-term contract from September to June 2026 to cover maternity leave, during which time options may open beyond this time.

The Paediatric Unit is a nine-bedded ward, providing all Acute Paediatric Medical and Surgical inpatient care for the States of Guernsey, and patients transferred from Alderney. 
Reporting to the Ward Manager you would be in-charge on the majority of shifts and often the most senior Paediatric Nurse on duty, managing the Band 5 Staff Nurses and Band 3 Healthcare Assistants. 
Critical Care paediatric patients are managed in the Adult Level 3 ICU but one Paediatric bed is available for HDU children, so experience with patients on High-flow oxygen would be an advantage.
The ward is adjacent to a 3-cot Neonatal Unit, (seperately staffed) but working closely with the Paediatric Ward and you will establish good working relationships with the Paediatric A&E team and complex home-care team
