Key Attributes
* a real flair for teaching

* clinical expertise in midwifery care
Responsibilities
Clinical Skills Midwives work within the Education team alongside our Practice Development Midwives to complement the practice development agenda. The Clinical Skills Midwife will support all clinical staff with education and practical training needs, including newly qualified midwives, experienced midwives returning from leave, rotating into a new area, and Maternity Assistants/Maternity Support Workers learning new skills and achieving competencies.
You will have established competence in clinical core skills, including cannulation, perineal repair, induction of labour methods, theatre cases and others.
You will have a strong desire to demonstrate, teach and supervise to build confidence and competence. You will value evidence and audit to inform training design and delivery.
You will have creative ideas and initiative for clinical scenario teaching, providing hands‑on training to preceptorship midwives, return‑to‑practice midwives and a variety of practice development across the MDT.
You will be agile and visible – creating work‑based learning by providing opportunities for planned teaching, pop‑up learning, opportunistic drills and other continuous improvement through learning. This role is a cross‑site role covering both York and Scarborough, with York as the base area.
You will be responsive – as evidence drives practice and identifies themes, and you will work with the Practice Development Team to deliver rapid‑action training and targeted support.
Targeted support and service need will require some flexibility – the post holder may need to work alongside colleagues and also move across sites and locations to support training and education. You may need to participate in clinical activity as required.
