The primary role of the Transitional Care Support Worker (TCSW) is to assist, support and work in collaboration with the midwife and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide a safe and holistic approach to women-centred care. The midwife is ultimately responsible for the care of the mother and her new-born(s), and under the direct or indirect supervision of the midwife the TCSW assists with and provides clinical care following completion of any relevant training. The post is rotational and the employee will receive appropriate training for the clinical setting in which they are working. The post holder will demonstrate the ability to deliver clinical care under the supervision of the registered staff member and will promote a friendly, supportive and safe atmosphere for parents and families, in which they can learn to care for their babies.
