Central London Band 5 and Band 6 posts

Our Client is a modern teaching hospital based in a vibrant and cosmopolitan part of London. The Trust has a real commitment to providing excellence in maternity care and to support this have made significant investment in both midwifery and medical staffing within the maternity unit enabling us to recruit further midwifery staff at this time.

Our Client prides themselves in the selection of services they offer women and their families. They currently deliver around 4800 babies each year and this is only possible through the fabulous team of midwives who work in close collaboration with the multi-disciplinary team. The women who choose to use their services come from diverse social, cultural and economic backgrounds. As a member of their  midwifery team, you will have the opportunity to work in a variety of clinical settings including the community and hospital, and be able to support women and their families through their childbirth experience. Opportunities are also available for you to develop specialist skills in our Recovery/High Dependency Unit unit and Maternity Day Assessment Unit.

Some women require the use of their  well developed specialist services. and to support this they  have close links with the St Stephen's Centre which specialises in HIV Services for women and the Royal Marsden and Brompton Hospital which specialises in Cancer Services and Cardiac Services respectively. These women are cared for specifically in our multi disciplinary high risk team.

They support all midwives through a programme of orientation specifically designed to meet your individual needs which is followed up with your team leader as you progress.

They  also have a Lead Midwife for Professional Development to aid you in your professional development throughout your career. They have a dedicated team of Midwifery Supervisors' with a variety of unique perspectives on the profession of midwifery. They run a positively evaluated group supervision system for newly qualified midwives which you can join. The Trust offers a range of flexible working options together with family friendly policies to enable you to balance home and work life more effectively.

They also have a dedicated Child Care Co-ordinator to help support you with local Child Care provision, holiday play schemes and childcare vouchers. They offer help with accommodation, both on-site and through the key worker Housing Scheme. They  pride themselves  in their commitment to valuing our midwives and their contribution to the success of our Midwifery Services.
