Midwife (Band 5 / 6)

The key purpose of the role is to provide high quality midwifery care sensitive to the needs of the woman and her family in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods. This will include liaising with other professional groups in the hospital and community settings to ensure the needs of the woman and her family are met.

The post holder will actively participate in the education, training and dissemination of professional and clinical knowledge to colleagues, student midwives and other members of the multi-disciplinary team acting as an effective role model.

In pursuing these duties, the post holder will ensure compliance with the NHS Constitution and be familiar with the NHS England Guidance 'Understanding the new NHS' (details of which can be found in the links section of NHS Jobs).

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to rotate in all areas of our maternity services, including community.

We are committed to looking at ways to develop and improve our maternity services, therefore we are looking for self-motivated, dynamic and professional midwives to join our team.

We are always looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we provide our services. We are a national centre for telemedicine and introduced telehealth to the UK offender healthcare sector and also provide the service to patients in their care homes. Community matters to us and we are supported by 400 dedicated volunteers and have strong links with Bradford University, Craven College and Leeds City College to ensure we inspire the workforce of the future.

We want to attract staff who embrace our 'Right Care' behaviours of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients - we want to make these part of our DNA.
