Staff Nurse

We are looking for Band 5 Staff Nurses to join our Transitional Care Unit, working in partnership with the Neonatal Unit. The Neonatal unit has 12 beds. You will provide safe, effective, family-centred care to newborns requiring additional monitoring and low-dependency support, enabling babies to remain with their mothers whenever possible.

Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care, support infant feeding, promote parent-infant bonding, and escalate concerns appropriately. You will also contribute to seamless care across maternity, transitional care, and neonatal services.

This role is ideal for a nurse or midwife with an interest in neonatal care, with opportunities for ongoing development and skill enhancement.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
