Description

The Neonatal Unit cares for parents who have often been through a traumatic experience so you will need to build trusting relationships and start to prepare them from admission to confidently go home.

You will ensure that parents are prepared to take home their baby
- often with complex needs, possess good communication skills to liaise with community services and social care and assist the nursing team with the patient flow.

The Neonatal Unit is looking for a Discharge coordinator to join the team on the Lewisham site.

You will ideally hold the NNEB or equivalent Nursey Nurse qualification and must have recent work experience on a Neonatal Unit.

For further information, please contact one of the Band 7's on telephone no: 3139.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley.

With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham.

We also provide some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

As an organisation, we've made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years.

This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of "Good" in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of "Good" that we had already achieved in the Caring domain.

Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust's improvement journey, as we've stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention.

We've also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams.
