Permanent | Part Time
We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join our expanding Paediatric Sleep Disorders Service as a Specialist Sleep Nurse. This is a fantastic role for an experienced and motivated nurse with a passion for paediatric sleep medicine and narcolepsy.
You will be joining a growing, enthusiastic multidisciplinary team dedicated to the assessment, diagnosis and management of sleep disorders in both typically developing children and those with neurodevelopmental conditions. Our service is rapidly developing, and you will play a key role in shaping high‑quality care for children and families across the region.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
Has experience in paediatrics and a strong interest in sleep medicine and/or narcolepsy
Has completed, or intends to complete, recognised sleep training through a credible course
Is self‑motivated, flexible, hard‑working and eager to learn
Enjoys being part of a dynamic and expanding team
Has excellent communication skills and a commitment to ongoing professional development
Reporting into the Clinical Nurse Specialist Manager, some of your responsibilities will include:
Deliver developmentally appropriate specialist nursing care across inpatient, outpatient, daycare, community and educational settings.
Plan, implement and evaluate complex specialist care in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team, using pathways and a range of methods including nurse‑led clinics, telephone advice and home visits.
Provide guidance, supervision and support to colleagues and students through appraisal, teaching and clinical supervision.
At Sheffield Children’s, our purpose is clear: to provide healthier futures for children and young people. Our three strategic aims are Outstanding Patient Care, Brilliant Place to Work, and Leaders in Children’s Health.
We work with partners across local, regional, and national levels to deliver physical and mental healthcare in both acute and community settings. Many of our clinicians are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.
We’re proud that 73% of colleagues would recommend Sheffield Children’s as a place to work, placing us among the top five NHS trusts in England — and the top-ranked trust in the North East and Yorkshire — in the latest NHS Staff Survey.
Our nearly 4,000 colleagues bring our CARE values — Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence — to life every day, creating a kind, welcoming environment where patients and families feel safe and supported.
As we approach our 150th anniversary this year, we’re excited to keep building our leadership in children's health, improve experiences for patients and staff, and focus on our communities and population health.
We also offer excellent benefits to support your wellbeing, with generous annual leave and pension schemes, health and wellbeing programmes, and exclusive discounts — helping you thrive at work and beyond.
