Job overview
Come to Cornwall where we have the mildest and sunniest climate in the Uk, surrounded by spectacular beaches and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic ocean.
We have an exciting opportunity to offer a post to an enthusiastic and active individual to join our outstanding Neonatal Team.

Our ANNP team consists of 6 highly motivated individuals who contribute heavily in shaping and developing the service, including the plans for our new build. You too could be part of this exciting development, and leading the way for future Neonatal care.
The ANNP rota covers all clinical areas: Delivery Suite, NNU, Postnatal and our In house Water Birthing Centre.
