A vacancy has arisen for a Paediatric Hospital Social Worker, supporting the Special Care Baby Unit at the Great North Children’s Hospital at Royal Victoria Infirmary.

This is an interesting and specialised post, with the main focus being to provide emotional, social and practical support to the families of children who are receiving inpatient treatment at the Royal Victoria Infirmary.

Excellent communication, assessment and planning skills are required, with a commitment and confidence in working within a Multi Disciplinary Team.

Previous experience of working within a children’s hospital setting would be an advantage.

Due to the complex and unstable health conditions of the children you will be supporting, this post will require providing bereavement support and can be emotionally challenging.

We are committed to protecting and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. This post is working in regulated activity. If you are successful we will undertake additional recruitment checks which will include a check to see if you have had any criminal convictions, a check of police information and we will check the barred list(s). It is a criminal offence for a barred individual to apply for a job in regulated activity.

For further information, please contact Lisa McWiggan, Team Manager or Fiona Ewing, Senior Practitioner on 0191 2824594.

Apply online at www.northeastjobs.org.uk.

As this post involves working with children, vulnerable adults or dealing with sensitive information, written references will be taken up and made available to interviewers before the final selection stage; even if you indicate otherwise.
