About the role
Salary: £39959.00 to £48117.00
This is a vital role focussing on the transition between paediatric and adult renal services, caring for 1625-year-olds. The post is based at SJUH but has close professional links with the paediatric team at the LGI and the wider renal team, including satellite dialysis units across West Yorkshire.
Transition and young adult care can be challenging but is balanced with the rewarding nature of the role. The role is all about supporting young adults to move seamlessly from childrens services to adult services, co-ordinating their care, managing your time efficiently and prioritising the workload.
There is a need for a current registration with the NMC and at least 2 years experience in relevant fields of nursing.
You will support patients in a way that is impactful to their care. You will be the main point of contact for young adults for queries or concerns, or someone to talk to during the challenges of being a young person balanced with managing a chronic condition. Flexibility with your diary is essential when managing your time to fit around the differing needs of your caseload. You will have the support of the wider team to create MDT meetings regarding your caseload which requires good communication.
Care for your young adults will be a mixture of text/WA, telephone and face to face. You will need to ensure your young adults feel advocated for and supported in adhering with their care, as well as being encouraged to pursue their goals as a young person. This may mean communicating with families or carers of that young person to ensure you are aware of how best to support them. You may need to signpost to other services and so a good knowledge of the teams around you are essential.
