Overview

The NNUH is in the heart of East Anglia. Norwich is one of the most vibrant and attractive cities in Europe. It is the perfect location to enjoy the contrasts of one of England’s most picturesque counties - from glorious open countryside and traditional villages to the unspoilt tranquillity of the Norfolk Broads with the contrast of the vibrant historic city of Norwich. Norwich with its magnificent cathedral and cobbled streets, is ranked in the Top 10 shopping cities in the UK as well as being popular for the arts, culture, music, nightlife, and tourism.

Are you enthusiastic, compassionate, and self-motivated? Do you want to develop your skills and knowledge in our busy and ever-expanding dynamic team working within our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit? Do you uphold the Trust’s PRIDE values? Then this post could be just what you are looking for.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 5 Nurse who is QIS, or has recent neonatal experience, to join our team on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We are a regional level 3 intensive care unit with 42 cots, providing the most advanced and specialist care for premature and critically unwell newborns. We deliver a full range of care from Intensive and high dependency through special and transitional care, ensuring that babies and their families receive seamless, compassionate support throughout their journey. As part of our multidisciplinary team, you will be involved and supported in providing a strong culture of family integrated care where we support parents as partners in care.

We offer a wealth of training and development opportunities, and you will benefit from a comprehensive 6-week induction with access to simulation training and mentorship from experienced neonatal nurses and advanced practitioners. You’ll be supported to complete the specialist nursing training (QIS) and develop your skills in a friendly, inclusive team.

We look forward to hearing from you. Join us at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and be part of a workforce of over 10,000 staff!
