Job description

Job responsibilities

If you would love to achieve a fantastic work-life balance and work somewhere that encourages and supports career development, this could be the perfect role for you!

About the role and our team

The Lead ANNP role crosses the clinical boundaries and promotes an expert level of advanced neonatal nursing and medical care by initiating and coordinating assessment, planning delivery and evaluation of the holistic needs of babies, parents/carers and families through evidence based practice following agreed policies and guidelines.

You will be responsible for maintaining and enhancing professional standards of care across the spectrum of Neonatology and will play an active role in the mentoring of colleagues.

You will use your knowledge and expertise to provide advanced clinical skills to babies whilst working in collaboration with the Consultant Neonatologist and Paediatric Team. This will include resuscitation, transportation, initiation of treatment (including mechanical ventilation) and the prescription, ordering and administration of drugs and intravenous fluids.

If you are a passionate and hard-working individual who is committed to ensuring high standards of care and support will be delivered to our service users at all times, we would love to hear from you!

What can this role offer me?

• For those relocating or returning to the island you will receive a refund on your national insurance contributions made in your first year, this could be up to £4,400!
• Great on site facilities and free car parking
