Neonatal Transitional Care and Community Outreach Band 6 Junior Sister/Charge Nurse
An exciting opportunity for experienced neonatal nurses to develop their leadership skills and experience in a Neonatal Transitional Care and Community Outreach Band 6 Junior Sister/Charge Nurse post.
High quality, evidenced based care is the hallmark of our service and we pride ourselves in delivering excellent quality of care along with as positive an experience for families as possible. We provide a cutting edge service and this is your opportunity to influence the experience of infants and families by contributing to the leadership of a strong and dedicated workforce, role modelling positive behaviours, supporting the team to deliver the highest standards of safe and effective care. This post is pivotal within the unit nursing structure.
We are looking for dynamic individuals who can adapt their neonatal skill set to the postnatal ward setting and the community. The Transitional Care team is an exciting service which involves the team providing a model of transitional care to babies, who are being nursed alongside their mothers within the maternity service. This supports reducing newborn separation and the maintenance of the family unit. It involves working across both neonatal and maternity unit boundaries and with the wider MDT. The Saint Mary’s MCS Neonatal Outreach service involves visiting families within their homes, supporting clinics, meeting with families before discharge to facilitate a high quality effective and efficient transition from hospital to home.
