Job overview

Are you an enthusiastic and dynamic neonatal trained nurse? Do you strive to provide excellent nursing care? Are you looking to progress your career? An exciting opportunity has arisen within Neonatal Services at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.

We are looking for a Band 6 Junior Sister to work on our busy Level 2 (LNU) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Peterborough City Hospital and in our Neonatal Community Outreach team.  This is a hybrid role part ward based and part community based.

Our Neonatal Unit has 20 cots and cares for babies born at 27 weeks gestation or greater. We are seeking to appoint an experienced and motivated nurse to join our team of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals, who are passionate about delivering a high quality service to babies and their families.

You must be an experienced B5 QIS nurse or B6 QIS junior Sister interested in furthering your leadership skills and have a passion for caring for babies both within the neonatal unit and in their home setting.

Please note that we can only consider applications from individuals with a live NMC registration or UK nursing students awaiting their PIN, as we are currently unable to support OSCE.

Main duties of the job

In this role you will work autonomously and will need to have an extensive clinical knowledge guiding your decision making. You will be responsible for managing your own workload, escalating any concerns and prioritising care needs of infants post discharge. This will involve working effectively and efficiently with the integrated multidisciplinary team and outside agencies to develop, implement and evaluate programmes of care.

As a community worker you will need the use of a car and be confident travelling and navigating to the infants home address. The community team is involved in monitoring, data collection and audit of our service and good computer skills are essential.

Primary base - Peterborough. Travelling to Huntingdon is required (pan site post)
