This is an exciting opportunity for nurses or midwives who are passionate and enthusiastic about Neonatal care to join our team.
The Neonatal Unit at Frimley Park Hospital is a Local Neonatal Unit made up of 2 Intensive Care, 3 High Dependency and 11 Special Care cots. The unit cares for babies over 26+6 weeks gestation and stabilises any baby under that gestation, to be transferred to a tertiary hospital/ NICU.
If you are newly qualified, about to qualify or are looking for a new challenge we would love to hear from you. You do not have to be a paediatric nurse to work in the neonatal unit. We have adult nurses and midwives on our team too.
