The Neonatal Nurse plays a pivotal role in delivering safe, evidence-based nursing care to newborns, including preterm and critically ill neonates within the Burra District. Reporting to the Head of Clinical Services, this position collaborates with a multidisciplinary team to conduct comprehensive assessments, monitor vital signs, and implement individualized care plans that address stabilization, thermoregulation, feeding support, and early detection of complications. Responsibilities extend to clinical teaching, mentoring nursing staff and students, and contributing to continuous quality improvement initiatives to uphold neonatal care standards and patient safety. Key duties include developing, implementing, and evaluating neonatal care plans in partnership with the maternal and newborn health team, conducting thorough neonatal assessments, and promptly responding to clinical deterioration. The nurse ensures adherence to aseptic techniques during procedures, provides respiratory and infection prevention support, and educates families on newborn care, danger signs, and discharge protocols. Accurate documentation, compliance with Rwanda Hospital Accreditation Standards, and active participation in adverse event reporting and quality improvement audits are essential. Additionally, the role involves mentoring new staff and students, leading in-service training, and engaging in continuous professional development to integrate evidence-based practices. Effective communication with patients, families, and healthcare teams, along with cultural sensitivity and confidentiality, is required. Fluency in English and Kinyarwanda is mandatory, with French as a desirable asset. Qualifications include a Master of Science in Neonatal Nursing, a valid Rwandan nursing license, and at least five years of clinical experience in neonatal care, preferably within a teaching or referral hospital. Experience in clinical teaching, mentorship, and familiarity with national clinical protocols, IPC standards, and perioperative safety systems are highly valued. The nurse must demonstrate strong critical thinking, data collection, and quality improvement skills, along with proficiency in electronic medical records and teamwork within multidisciplinary settings. Adherence to Partners In Health’s core values—Ubuntu (Compassion), Ubupfura (Integrity), Ubunyangamugayo (Honesty), Ubwubahane (Mutual Respect), Ubufatanye (Solidarity), Agadir (Dignity), and Kira Shaka (Determination)—is required, alongside a commitment to preventing sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment in all professional interactions.
