    An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and self-motivated Midwife to lead a team of Midwives who care for women in a community setting.
    We need a motivated and dynamic midwife to lead our community teams of midwives and maternity support workers to ensure continuity of care and carer to our diverse population. Midwives on this team are involved in running antenatal/postnatal clinics from local children's centres as well as conducting home visits. They also provide parent education classes and breastfeeding support sessions.

    We pride ourselves on our reputation for providing an exceptional standard of care to women and their families. We actively encourage career progression and access to educational programmes to encourage our Midwives to achieve their full potential., For both overviews please view the Job Description attachment with the job advert.
