About the Role

This role sits at the heart of neonatal care. The therapist provides specialist assessment and treatment for NICU and SCBU infants.

They also link with community paediatric teams across the area which helps create a joined up pathway for vulnerable infants. Someone who enjoys variety and wants to have a clear impact on early development will feel at home here. They will have autonomy while knowing support is always on hand when needed. Soft question though. Would they enjoy using their specialist skills to help babies at their most delicate stage

• Provide skilled advice to families which helps reduce anxiety and builds confidence
