CFHS is raising the profile of Surrey’s children’s community nursing services, with the aim of recruiting nurses, therapists, nursery nurses and health care assistants/support workers to join the service.
Clinicians and others from the service will be available each day on the stand in the Peacock Shopping Centre, outside the H&M and Pandora shops.
A short video will showcase the important work the teams do, which ranges from health visiting and school nursing to specialist services such as paediatric therapies (Physiotherapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Dietetics) and three specialist community nursing services for children with more complex nursing needs.
The Surrey-wide service provides community health services to children aged from 0 months to 19 years of age some of whom have complex health needs.
Sarah Baker, Interim Director of Children and Family Health Surrey says:
‘This is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference to the lives of around 500 children and young people in Surrey who are living with complex illnesses and disabilities. Our teams have ‘Good’ overall rating by CQC and are rated ‘Outstanding’ for how caring they are. We want to welcome nurses, therapists and healthcare assistants to join our passionate and dedicated team who have privilege to care for children with life-limiting conditions at home or in school. Our teams are determined to ensure that these children in need get the right health care to keep them safe and well at home.’

The Children’s Healthcare Team is a passionate and dedicated team that in December 2016 won a Team Spirit Award for their commitment to promoting the children’s abilities to be independent and access nursery, school and after school clubs.
