Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join us as a Band 6 Neonatal Nurse on our busy Level 2 Unit. Full or part time hours would be considered.
The 28 cot unit consists of 12 ITU/HDU, 16 Special Care and 4 Transitional Care cots. The unit has a collaborative approach to care with good working relationships within the multi-disciplinary team and is lucky to be housed in a modern purpose built Women's Centre with excellent facilities for both staff and families. We practice Family Integrated Care and have special interest groups for Infant Feeding, Developmental Care and Palliative Care. HOPE and SHED parent support groups are well embedded on the unit.
Main duties of the job
