Due to new and significant investment a rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for highly motivated Registered Nurse to join our team and provide care within our service on the Transitional Care Unit (TCU). Bradford Neonatal Service is a well-established 31 cot NICU and 9 cot TCU providing care for both infants born locally and those from across the wider Yorkshire & Humber region requiring specialist high quality support.

We have had a number of recent successes in developing a large education team, perinatal palliative care support and specialist infant feeding nurses so now is a really exciting time to be part of team Bradford. We are now focusing on developing our transitional care nursing team in order to support families to make the safe transition from NICU to home care.

To come and join our team you will need to have excellent clinical and communication skills. You will be a motivated team player and someone who is approachable to colleagues and families on the unit. The successful candidate will also aspire to continually develop. Our promise to any successful candidate is that we will support your development and ensure that you are equipped with the right skills to be successful.

The post holder will maintain a safe environment for babies, families and staff, reporting concerns as they arise and ensuring appropriate remedies/ action plans are put in place.
