Band 6 Community and Maternity Unit Rotational Midwife- Goodmayes

Are you a dynamic, passionate and innovative midwife? Do you want to be in charge of your own caseload and manage your own clinics? Are you inspired to support low risk women to birth in their own home? If you can answer yes to any or all of the above, we would like to talk to you as we are currently recruiting Community Midwives. We are looking for midwives who are dedicated to providing evidence based, individualised, women centred care to complement our existing service. Band 5 midwives who will shortly be completing their preceptorship and wish to work in the community are welcome to apply. You would need to demonstrate completion and sign off of competencies to be eligible for this post. BHRUT is one of the most forward thinking Maternity units in London and Essex, servicing a hugely diverse population across a large geographical area. We are the second largest single site maternity service in the UK, meaning that brings you both midwifery and wider opportunities that other Trusts
simply cannot. As a new starter to the Trust you will have an individualised orientation programme designed to support and guide you in your first weeks, you will be supported to attend training and education programmes, alongside access to aspiring Band 7-8a/b/d development packages, and you will receive ongoing support from our fabulous in house Education Team and senior midwifery team., To provide antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care to women and babies during their pregnancy, birth and aftercare.

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
