You will independently lead nurse-led clinics, including dilator and menstrual management services, undertaking comprehensive assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care. You will provide tailored education and guidance, enabling young people to understand their condition and actively participate in their care.
The role involves delivering sensitive information in an age-appropriate and accessible manner, while providing emotional support and reassurance. You will act as an advocate, ensuring that care is personalised and responsive to individual needs, including safeguarding considerations where appropriate.
In addition, you will contribute to service improvement initiatives, support clinical governance requirements, and maintain accurate documentation.
Strong organisational skills, clinical judgement, and the ability to prioritise effectively are essential to succeed in this role.
