• Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team (MDT), supporting staff, families and services
• Drive quality improvement and best practice across the organisation

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a passionate and experienced nurse who brings both clinical expertise and a genuine commitment to inclusive, person-centred care.

You'll have:

• Registration as a nurse with relevant experience (ID, mental health, disability or related fields)
• Strong knowledge of autism, ADHD and neurodiversity
• Experience in complex case management and MDT working
• Excellent communication, leadership and problem-solving skills
• A passion for improving services and empowering others

Desirable: Additional training or experience in neurodevelopmental practice, trauma-informed care, or service development.

At Sunbeam House Services, we believe in supporting both the people we serve and the people who work with us.

• Be part of a forward-thinking, values-driven organisation
• Work in a collaborative and supportive MDT environment
• Shape and influence innovative service development
