We promote feeding progression in collaboration with the Infant Feeding Team and Speech and Language Therapy.
Parents will receive guidance to confidently care for their infants, facilitating safe and timely discharges. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care.

We are dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration, kindness, and respect, with effective communication within the team. We value inclusivity and diversity, encouraging open dialogue through our Freedom to Speak Up champions.
We prioritize staff health and well-being, considering flexible working arrangements that balance service needs with the work-life balance of our colleagues.
