Job summary

Main duties of the job

The Service consists of a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at The William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, Kent.

Our other unit at The Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate has 12 Special Care and 2 High Dependency cots and cares for babies above 32 weeks gestation. This post would give the successful candidate the fantastic opportunity to work across both sites calling upon management, leadership and expert clinical nursing skills. East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust has made great investment in neonatal nurse staffing and we are now nearing the end of a three year recruitment plan to enable us to achieve BAPM standards of 1:1 ratios for Intensive Care 1:2 for High Dependency and 1:4 for Special Care and ratios of Qualified in Specialty nurses. This has resulted in additional posts being available on both sites. This is an exciting time to join our Trust and influence the way neonatal services are provided to the population of East Kent.

We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
