The newly refurbished Neonatal Intensive Care Unit within the Children’s Hospital for Wales admits approximately 600 babies per year. In addition to being a level three NICU we are the only neonatal surgical unit in Wales. We also provide care for babies from across Wales who require specialist tertiary care and those who receive antenatal care within the foetal medicine unit.

We are looking to recruit an experienced neonatal nurse to join our supportive and experienced outreach nursing team who ensure the delivery of high quality, kind and compassionate care.

The unit provides a wealth of opportunities for ongoing development and experience within a supportive and friendly team. We are integrating FICare into our working practices to ensure we work collaboratively with the families on the unit along side our discharge nursing team.
