A Vacancy at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The East of England Neonatal Operational Delivery Network (ODN), in partnership with Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, is seeking an exceptional Band 8a Neonatal Nurse Specialist to lead and develop care for neonates with complex medical needs (CMC) across the region.
This is a unique, pioneering role, offering the opportunity to shape and deliver care that intervenes earlier than ever—supporting babies and families from antenatal diagnosis, birth, and neonatal intensive care, through transition into children’s services.
As the Roald Dahl Neonatal CMC Nurse Specialist, you will provide expert clinical leadership and specialist nursing care for neonates with complex, life-limiting, or long-term conditions across the East of England Neonatal ODN.
Who We’re Looking For:
You will be a highly experienced neonatal nurse with:
• Current NMC registration.
• Significant experience in neonatal intensive care, including caring for babies with complex or long-term conditions.
• Credibility to work at Band 7/ 8a level, demonstrating clinical leadership, autonomy, and strategic influence.
• Excellent communication skills and a commitment to family-centred, compassionate care.
• Experience working collaboratively across services and professional boundaries.
• Experience working within networks or ODNs, with postgraduate or advanced practice qualifications considered advantageous.
Key Responsibilities
Working at a senior, autonomous level, you will:
• Act as a clinical expert and system leader for neonatal medical complexity.
• Build trusted relationships with families from the earliest stages, including antenatal diagnosis where appropriate.
• Bridge neonatal and children’s services, ensuring safe, compassionate, and seamless transitions of care.
• Lead network-wide education, quality improvement, audit, and clinical effectiveness initiatives.
• Collaborate across neonatal units, maternity, paediatrics, community services, social care, and voluntary sector partners.
• Champion family-centred, coordinated, and compassionate care, aligned with NHS values and the Roald Dahl nursing model.
Specifically, you will:
• Provide advanced specialist neonatal nursing care across the three NICUs in the East of England and the wider ODN.
• Act as a single point of expertise and coordination for families, supporting parallel planning and shared decision-making.
• Lead and influence care pathways, guidelines, and standards for neonatal CMC care across the ODN.
• Support multidisciplinary teams through consultation, education, and mentorship.
• Develop and lead network meetings, education programmes, and quality improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to data collection, audit, and service evaluation to shape future care models.
• Work closely with Roald Dahl Nurse Specialists nationally to share learning and best practice.
