The unit has 12 cots in total: 1 Intensive Care cot for stabilization and transfer to Level 3 Unit, 2 High Dependency cots, 6 special care cots, and 3 transitional care beds for mother and baby located on the special care baby unit. Our vision is to work in partnership with families to promote family-integrated care, delivering high-quality care to the babies and their families.
We are working toward implementing UNICEF BFI neonatal standards. We have achieved Bronze Accreditation and are working towards our Silver award for the BLISS Baby Charter.
Are you a Registered Nurse, Midwife, or a student nurse with a desire to work within neonatal care? This could be the opportunity you have been looking for. We are dedicated to developing all our staff and will provide you with an opportunity to undertake additional post-graduate study, including foundation modules in neonatal care and a degree in Neonatal Critical Care to fulfill the requirements of this post.
Neonatal experience is required for this post.
As a Band 5 Staff Nurse, you will be responsible for the care of pre-term and term babies and their families across the neonatal service, including families in our transitional care beds. You will work within a multi-disciplinary team to deliver the best quality care, assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating individual programmes of care.
You must have a commitment to delivering family-centered care in partnership with families. As a member of our small, friendly professional team, you will be flexible, reliable, and motivated to succeed.

Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster, and Ross-on-Wye.
We are a progressive and forward-looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we’d want for our family and friends.
More than 3,500 people work for the Trust – they tell us it’s a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
