Job Opportunity: Band 6 Midwife - NHS Borders
An exciting opportunity has arisen for band 6 midwives to work in NHS Borders, located in the beautiful Scottish Borders. The position is rotational within the Hawick community team.
At NHS Borders, we prioritize women at the center of our maternity services, aiming to provide the best care for women and their families. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, safe care through strong leadership and a collaborative team approach.
Our maternity services are evolving to meet Best Start recommendations, offering continuity of care through caseload midwifery teams who care for women at home and in our consultant-led unit. You will be part of these teams, working collaboratively to promote evidence-based, women-centered care.
This is an excellent opportunity to join our friendly and supportive multidisciplinary team within NHS Borders's maternity services. Our services are delivered alongside the Borders General Hospital, near Melrose, which provides antenatal/postnatal wards, a labour suite, consultant clinics, and an early pregnancy unit. Community support is available through home visits and GP surgeries across the Borders, including Peebles, Hawick, Jedburgh, Galashiels, Kelso, Duns, and Eyemouth.
We seek an innovative, highly motivated, flexible, and enthusiastic midwife with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. The successful candidate will provide high-quality, person-centered care within community settings, with a passion for continuity of care and a desire to develop midwifery expertise.
The role requires the ability to work flexibly and effectively within a busy team, caring for women with diverse health and social care needs, in partnership with other health and social agencies.
This is a permanent, part-time position offering experienced midwives an exciting opportunity to develop skills and practice midwife-led care.
The role involves commitments to day shifts and on-call duties, both during the day and at night, as required by clinical needs.
