Are you an experienced and inspiring nurse leader ready to shape the future of neonatal care? We are seeking a Band 8b Lead Nurse to lead our neonatal services across two sites: the Level 2 unit at St Mary’s Hospital (SMH) and the Level 3 unit at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital (QCCH).

This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference to babies, families and teams while delivering safe, high-quality and family-centred care.

We are looking for a credible, compassionate leader with substantial leadership experience. Neonatal expertise is welcomed, but experience gained in high-dependency or other acute clinical settings may also be highly transferable.

With responsibility across two distinct neonatal units, you will enjoy a varied and rewarding portfolio, work alongside committed multidisciplinary teams and help shape improvements for babies, families and staff. This role will suit a collaborative leader who is energised by challenge, values innovation and wants to make a visible difference.
