Neonatal Home Care Team

There is an exciting opportunity within the Neonatal Home Care Team. We are seeking dynamic, enthusiastic and motivated Band 5 Nurses to be part of our Home Care team helping to provide a comprehensive 7 day service.

The neonatal home care team is based at both campus of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and aims to promote safe early discharges of babies from the Neonatal units and Transitional Care.

Being a part of the Neonatal service at NUH means you will also work within the north hub region of the EMNODN. This will allow for opportunities to network across the north hub, access training and support and gain knowledge in other neonatal services within the network. This may also involve travel across the region. NUH is also undergoing a wonderful change with the Maternity Neonatal Redesign (MNR) which will see Neonatal services grow significantly over at QMC.

These posts are permanent and will support early repatriation of the family, create education packages for parents and staff and provide surgical support. These posts are specialist nursing roles, and will enrich your career by providing you with skills to carry out nursing neonates in different environments. You will touch the hearts of families, as they will yours by building relationships, helping them through their experience providing emotional support.,

Candidates must have experience of caring for babies in a hospital or community environment preferably with additional training relevant to the role. This post offers a fantastic opportunity to utilise and develop your existing knowledge and skills in caring for babies in the home setting, enhancing future career progression.

These posts will support the existing home care team in planning the care and transition from the neonatal unit and transitional care wards through a structured discharge process, promoting safe early discharge from hospital to home. The post will also support the discharge of babies for short term home phototherapy from postnatal and children's wards. You will liaise with other members of the multidisciplinary team and support parents in providing high quality care in the home environment.

You will see the families' confidence grow and empower them to care for their baby from admission to discharge, to the journey home. It is a unique experience to be able to continue give the family back the decision making of the baby's care, with your support.
