Band 5 / 6 Midwife

Kingston Maternity Services remain committed to implementing the recommendations of The National Maternity Review- Better Births: Improving outcomes of maternity services inEngland. Continuity of Carer remains an important evidence-based way of improving outcomes and experience for women and birthing people using our services. We are continuing to role out continuity of carer models by implementing 10 geographical community-based teams. We currently have 35% of women booked on Continuity of Carer pathways and aim for this to increase in the next year. Each team will provide an integrated model of continuity achieved through midwives working both in the hospital and community settings. This will enable midwives to be highly skilled in all areas of midwifery practice. Full orientation and support will be provided, and midwives will work the majority of their time in the hospital setting with some supported community shifts.

If you are a passionate midwife with excellent communication skills and a drive to provide high quality care to women please apply to join our multi professional maternity team.

We have an exciting opportunity for junior (Band 5) and senior midwives (Band 6) to join our Maternity Team at Kingston and Richmond Hospital Foundation Trust.
