A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse to work at Swanwick Lodge Secure Children’s Home which cares for up to 10 young people who are held under section 25 of the Children’s Act, on welfare placements. The home is owned and run by Hampshire County Council, who deliver the care and education for the young people in the home. Young people typically stay for around 6 months, but this can vary based on their individual needs.
The post holder will join an engaging, friendly and supportive team that is a valued resource within the home. The health and wellbeing team is commissioned separately to the care and education elements in the home, but we work together very closely with our integrated colleagues to understand and meet the needs of the young people. As part of integrated working our delivery is scaffolded by the SECURE STAIRS framework, and a central part of our role is to offer wellbeing support to the wider team including the delivery of training and a variety of reflective spaces. This is to promote a system wide, trauma informed approach to the understanding of the young people we are working with.
The post holder will need to have sound clinical knowledge and demonstrate managerial and leadership abilities.
