As a senior midwife you will take overall responsibility and accountability in ensuring women, babies and families receive safe, clinically effective, women centred care across the whole maternity care pathway.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver care to women and babies within acute or community clinical environments whose needs are complex. You will work flexibly across the service in supporting the delivery of midwifery care, using a range of service models, including continuity of carer. Senior midwives provide expert clinical and professional midwifery leadership and are accountable for the women, babies, public and staff experience. This will be in line with local, Trust wide and national policies, procedures, values and behaviours.

The Senior Midwife will ensure that the Delivery Suite team is managed on a day-to-day basis reflecting HR policies and procedures, including staff performance / sickness and absence. Staff will be coached, supported and appropriately signposted to other agencies.
The Senior Midwife will ensure that systems and processes are in place for woman to receive high quality midwifery care across the 24-hour period and clinical staff feel empowered to make their own decisions in the midwifery matron/senior midwives' absence, reflecting the ward / department team philosophy of care.
