Summary
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.
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)
We are dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusivity within our workforce and warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, with a particular emphasis on encouraging those from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, as well as candidates from our local area.
As part of our commitment to supporting our employees we offer a range of benefits including:
• Generous annual leave entitlement starting at 27 days and increasing to 29 days after five years of service and 33 days after 10 years of service, in addition to the national Bank Holidays (pro-rata for part time staff);
• Membership of the NHS Pension Scheme:
• Flexible working opportunities;
• Enhanced hourly rates for unsociable hours e.g. night shifts, weekends, bank holidays;
• Opportunities for career development and training to help you progress in your role;
• Wellbeing support and activities to promote a healthy work environment;
• Access to our in-house physiotherapy service;
• On-site canteens offering subsidised meals;
• Subsidised staff parking (currently free);
• Free Stagecoach Bus Travel to and from work within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
We strive to create a supportive and inclusive workplace where employees feel valued and empowered to excel in their roles. Join us and become part of a team dedicated to making a positive difference in our community.
