Are you a Registered Children's Nurse ready to step into a clinical leadership role?
Do you have experience managing complex care packages and the confidence to lead clinical oversight across a specialist caseload? If so, this could be the role you've been waiting for.
We're looking for a Children's Nurse Case Manager to join Routes Healthcare's specialist complex care team on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is a senior clinical role with genuine scope — to lead, develop, and make a lasting difference to children and families across the North of England, backed by a team that takes complex care seriously.
Apply today and take the next step in your clinical career with Routes Healthcare.
