The SuRNICC is the largest neonatal unit in North Wales and supports two Special Care Baby Units in Wrexham and Bangor. We are the focal point of the network of newborn care across North Wales.

We provide Consultant led care for sick and preterm infants above 26 weeks gestation from across North Wales and beyond. We also run a 12 hour neonatal transport service and offer superb on site parent accommodation with Ty Croeso.

With strong team working skills, you will be able to demonstrate the values that are important to us, communicating well with both colleagues and families.

You should have the vision and ability to help move the service forward, while getting the best out of your colleagues and team and will never compromise on quality always treating others with respect and dignity.
