Join to apply for the Midwifery Practitioner role at NHS Scotland.
These posts offer exciting opportunities for midwives and we welcome applications from newly qualified midwives. The Women & Children’s Directorate are seeking midwives to work as autonomous practitioners driving forward midwifery practice whilst providing holistic care to the families of Forth Valley. In NHS Forth Valley we provide care throughout the pregnancy journey within midwifery teams as well as in core areas and are working towards the National Best Start Project recommendations. Applicants should be highly motivated to work in all areas of midwifery in an integrated team model of care. New work patterns offer a choice of 7.5 hours, 10.5 hours and 12 hour shifts.
The post holders would be working in a modern, clean hospital set in a beautiful woodland area and also in community hubs where you can provide midwifery care close to the homes of women. Our alongside midwifery unit is well used and incorporates two birthing pools. All rooms within labour ward benefit from a calm, relaxing environment where we provide portable CTG monitoring, aromatherapy and a range of birthing equipment.
We are a friendly team who enjoy challenging ourselves both in and out of work and we benefit from positive working relationships with all members of the multidisciplinary team. NHS Forth Valley provides care for approximately 3000 births annually and covers a large geographical area with beautiful rural and urban areas. We are ideally situated between Glasgow and Edinburgh with good transport links to both nearby. The much-expanded Women & Children’s Directorate benefits from diversity and flexibility, providing services for women, children and young people within the home, community and acute hospital settings. In NHS Forth Valley, we passionately believe in joined-up, holistic care across the whole patient journey. Candidates should demonstrate commitment, drive, and resilience and share our passion and values; being keen to continuously develop the service we provide.
