Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
Following suggestions and our commitment to the Better Births Programme, an excellent opportunity has arisen in the community for a Continuity of Care Midwife to assist carry the initiative forward.
Our community midwives encourage normalcy and the use of alternative therapies for the benefit of all women. If you are searching for a chance to work innovatively, employing a continuity of care model, and utilising and developing your midwifery abilities within a successful community team, this could be the job for you.
You must be adaptable, able to operate across a vast geographical area and participate in our on-call schedule and shifts as needed to assist the hospital, homebirth, and midwifery-led unit.
Registered midwives have an excellent chance to join Walsall Healthcare Trust’s Community Midwifery Team. You will be experienced, energetic, and caring, and you must be able to work independently while displaying great clinical abilities to deliver effective, individualised women-centered treatment.
You will be the named midwife for a specific caseload of women, delivering prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care in the home and in midwife-led settings, including one-on-one care during delivery.
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is an integrated trust and the sole provider of NHS acute care in Walsall, servicing a population of 286,700. It provides inpatient and outpatient treatments at the Manor Hospital, as well as a variety of community services. Walsall Manor provides the entire range of district general hospital services under one roof. The £170 million expansion was completed in 2010, and ongoing upgrades guarantee that the Trust now has cutting-edge Critical Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, Obstetric Theatre, and Integrated Assessment Unit capabilities. Work is already well started on the multi-million pound new Urgent and Emergency Care Centre, which will include a new Emergency Department (including a Children’s Emergency Department), a Paediatric Assessment Unit, an Acute Medical Unit, and an Urgent Care Centre. This is anticipated to be completed this year.
We would particularly like to hear from people from BME backgrounds and those with disabilities, as these groups are currently under-represented at the senior level. We value diversity within our Trust and strive for equity in recruitment.
We promote flexible working arrangements for both employees and prospective applicants.
Any settled workers meeting the requirements must be given preference over any non-resident candidates meeting the requirements, unless the employment falls under a PhD-level code, in which case sponsorship may be obtained.
Our community midwives encourage normalcy and the use of alternative therapies to support low-risk mothers. If you are searching for a chance to work innovatively, employing a continuity of care model, and utilising and developing your midwifery abilities within a successful community team, this could be the job for you.
