Did you know Southampton has it’s own 115 bedded children’s hospital offering paediatric services for Children in the Wessex Region and the channel islands.
As part of Southampton Children’s Hospital, G4SUN is a fast paced 17-bed Surgical, Urological and Nephrological unit. We care for children from birth to 18 years old. Our service covers referrals from outlying hospitals across the South of England, including the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands. Children can stay with us for as little as a day. Some require longer term care, staying with us for a week or so, or occasionally months. G4SUN looks after children undergoing major and minor general or urological surgery, either as a planned admission or as an emergency. We also look after children with renal conditions, both acute and chronic. These children may require peritoneal dialysis on the ward, and we also have a haemodialysis unit. Our haemodialysis unit cares for outpatients who require regular dialysis, with patients attending sessions on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Occasionally this service is used by inpatients too
We are looking for an experienced, motivated, enthusiastic Paediatric trained Band 5 nurse to join our dynamic team.
