This means demonstrating a consistent leadership style which engages, enables and empowers others as well as facilitates team working and collaboration within teams / departments and across organisational boundaries.

The Special Care Baby Unit is based at The Northumbria Hospital and is a level one neonatal unit, comprising of 12 special care cots. The team provide high dependency care and stabilise infants requiring intensive care, prior to transfer.
Successful candidates will be appointed a Clinical Supervisor, who along with the ANNP team, will support them through a supernumerary programme. Following completion of this they will join a medical rota covering SCBU, Transitional Care, Post-natal Wards, Delivery Suite, Birthing Centre and supports NNeTS.
