About Us:At Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, we understand the profound impact of loss and grief on families who experience the loss of a newborn. We are committed to providing compassionate care and support to families during this difficult time, ensuring they feel respected, valued, and supported in their grief journey.

Position Overview:As a Family Care Nurse Specialist in Bereavement you will play a vital role in providing emotional support and practical guidance to families who have experienced the loss of a newborn. Working closely with our multidisciplinary team, you will help families navigate their grief journey with compassion, sensitivity, and empathy

The post holder will provide a confidential bereavement support service for families, including the emotional support of siblings, around the death of a child.

The role incorporates antenatal support of women and their families, support on the neonatal unit and continuing care once the family are at home. The post holder will work within the broader family care team and will be expected to provide holistic family care support to the patients and families of NUH.

This role will provide guidance and support to multi-disciplinary staff on the unit to care for babies at their families. The post holder will act as an expert for advice on the bereavement process and support staff to support families.

Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) is the main neonatal intensive care service for the region, caring for around 1,000 babies and their families each year at the QMC and at City Hospital. Currently, previously the service has had to transfer babies out of Nottingham to other hospitals each week, sometimes beyond the East Midlands, since there are not enough intensive care cots to meet demand.
Similarly, Nottingham is not able to accept the babies from the region for whom we should provide intensive care.

It is an exciting time for NUH, and the neonatal unit The Maternity and Neonatal Redesign Programme at NUH will see the QMC Neonatal Unit increase the number of intensive, high dependency and special care cots from 17 to 38, this project is due to be completed by December 2024.
