Four new consultant positions, which have been created following soundings with palliative care staff, will work on a local, regional and national level.
The Scottish Government is funding the posts for two years through the Diana Nurse allocated money, which is given to nursing projects in memory of Princess Diana.
The post-holders for children and young people with life- limiting conditions will have the chance to consult on and co-ordinate work. They will also build up partnerships between acute, community and children's hospice facilities.
The posts, which are being advertised through NHS Scotland, will be based at NHS Lothian, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Tayside and NHS Grampian.
