Main duties of the job

University Hospital Southampton (UHS) Maternity Services are excited to welcome applications from Band 6 midwives who are passionate about delivering exceptional care within a leading tertiary maternity unit. As a centre of excellence, we provide both high  and low risk midwifery care, supported by specialist Fetal Medicine and Maternal Medicine services and a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

We are looking for motivated, compassionate midwives who want to develop their skills across a diverse and dynamic clinical environment. Our Band 6 midwives work as part of a rotational programme across our birth environments and our antenatal and postnatal ward areas, gaining rich experience while contributing to safe, personalised and high quality care for women and families.

At UHS, you’ll join a supportive, forward thinking team committed to collaborative working, professional growth and a positive workplace culture. We value your individuality, your expertise and your ambition and we are dedicated to helping you thrive.

If you are ready to take the next step in your midwifery journey within a vibrant tertiary service, we would love to hear from you.

Working for our organisation

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients. 

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
