An exciting opportunity has arisen for a fixed term band 5 staff nurse to join the dynamic and supportive team in our local neonatal unit at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The unit has 14 cots consisting of 2 intensive care, 3 high dependencies, and 9 special care cots. We care for babies born above 30 weeks gestation.
We pride ourselves on having an environment where your development matters, so previous neonatal experience is not mandatory. We are looking for registered nurses with excellent communication skills to join us. Part-time hours would be considered.
If you are a registered nurse or midwife considering a new challenge, this role may be perfect for you; you do not need to be a children's nurse to have a successful career in Neonatal Care.
Main duties of the job
Looking after babies from 30 weeks gestation requiring intensive, high dependency, special, or transitional care. A mix of long day and night shifts.
