If you are looking for a new challenge and an exciting change of midwifery direction, then come and join our wonderful, highly motivated, enthusiastic experienced, woman centred Best Beginnings (BB) Team.
BB is an award winning community-based midwifery team specialising in the care of vulnerable women / birthing people e.g. mental health, domestic violence, child protection and families with complex needs within the Trust.
The BB team provides an intensive community based preventative approach to women with additional needs during the ante and postnatal period. The work focuses on reducing inequalities in health and child development. We provide a caseload approach where continuity of care is provided for women, with discharge and handover to Health Professionals. The care is tailored according to their individual needs. We offer outreach and home visiting in the ante and postnatal period to engage those women less likely to access services themselves.
Your role will involve adapting the care required to the needs of the woman, either at home, within the hospital setting or in the community. You will need to be available to work weekdays and some weekends. Being a car driver is essential. You will need to have been qualified at least 18 months and have had some experience of community midwifery; however, this can be accommodated if you have the passion and philosophy of the team ethics.
You will facilitate close working relations between the multidisciplinary team and outside agents, ensuring women and their families are aware and can access all services.
You will be an experienced, autonomous, motivated and passionate midwife providing additional professional support to women, partners and families who are identified as being vulnerable both in the community and hospital setting by carrying your own caseload of women. You will provide midwifery care to your own caseload of women throughout the transition into motherhood.
You will provide midwifery care to your own caseload of women during pregnancy and the postnatal period.
There may also be a requirement to provide labour care and participate in the on call system.
The team workload is reviewed regularly therefore you will be responsible in collating and submitting data alongside your team members
We test all shortlisted candidates prior to interview on Risk and Medicines Management.
