What is a community nursery nurse?
Community nursery nurses work with families and children (usually from birth to age eight) within community nursing, health visiting and family support teams. They use their specialist knowledge of children’s health needs to support parents and boost the child’s development through play. As a community nursery nurse, you would usually work closely with a health visitor to assess a family’s care needs. You would then work independently with the family, following an agreed care or play plan. Your clients could include: • families with sick children • vulnerable families living with mental health issues, addiction or disability • children in need of protection.
