BECOME A NOAH’S ARK NURSE
Home >
At Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, our nurses have the time and support to do what really matters – help the children they support make the most of every day.
TIME TO CARE –
A CHILD’S LIFETIME
We’re looking for paediatric nurses who want to spend more time with the babies, children and young people they look after – to help them make the most of every day. You’ll be based in our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building, The Ark, set in a north London nature reserve. It’s a place of laughter, play and real connection for children who are seriously unwell, with an atmosphere that’s both supportive and inclusive.
Palliative care experience is welcomed, but not essential. You will be given all the training you need to support children throughout their lives, and at the end of their lives.
If you’d like to arrange a call, or a visit to The Ark, to learn more about nursing at Noah’s Ark, please request a call with one of our senior nursing team using the form below. To view our open roles, click here.

Some of the families I work with today, I have been working with for the past 10 years. Unlike some other nursing careers, where you may just get a snapshot of care, at Noah’s Ark you get to experience the whole journey. I can’t say enough what a privilege it is to be invited to share all of these experiences and moments with families.
If you want to create everlasting memories, have fun, make a difference and join the most passionate team I’ve ever worked with – then Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice is the place for you.
Hayley Manley, Director of Care
WHERE YOU’LL BE WORKING
Our support is offered wherever it is required – whether in the home, in the community or at The Ark.
Designed by families, for families, The Ark is a place of light and life, where you will find music, art, play and drama therapy; children blossoming in sensory and soft play rooms; and a fully accessible playground. The grounds offer wheelchair accessible outdoor experiences, including a Woodland Walk through a 7.5-acre nature reserve and a sensory walkway. We have created a space where children who are seriously unwell are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
