Deputy Ward Leader - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

We are looking for a compassionate, experienced and motivatedDeputy Sister/Charge Nurse to join our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where you will play a key role in delivering exceptional care to premature and critically ill newborns and supporting their families during some of their most challenging moments.

Working alongside the Ward Sister, you will provide clinical leadership and help coordinate the everyday running of the unit, ensuring the highest standards of safe, evidence-based, family-centred care are consistently delivered. You will lead by example, providing expert clinical support while mentoring and developing junior colleagues, students, and healthcare support workers to help build a skilled and confident team.

This role offers the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, highly specialised environment where no two days are the same. You will care for babies requiring intensive, high-dependency and special care, using advanced neonatal equipment and working closely with multidisciplinary teams to achieve the best possible outcomes. As part of a forward-thinking neonatal service, you will also contribute to service improvement initiatives, quality assurance, and the implementation of national and local standards, helping to shape the future of neonatal care.

If you are an experienced neonatal nurse with excellent clinical skills, a passion for leadership, and a commitment to delivering outstanding care for babies and their families, we would love to hear from you.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as 'outstanding' for care and our King's Mill Hospital as the only 'outstanding' NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
