We have exciting opportunities for motivated and experienced NMC Registered Midwives to join our friendly and passionate team to work in our Maternity department, as we continue to develop our maternity service.
We are looking for knowledgeable and confident midwives to join us in this dynamic environment where you will work autonomously within a multi-disciplinary team to provide high-quality, safe, and compassionate individualised care - making a real difference to families and services.
Main duties of the job
The primary aim of the role is to ensure that women and their families receive high quality personalised and safe care based around their individual choices and needs.
The midwife will plan, deliver, and evaluate the care of women and their families in the antenatal period within the maternity assessments and ensure there is seamless transition and continuity throughout her pregnancy pathway. The role will also support the promotion of public health initiatives that reflect the needs of the local population.
Working for our organisation
Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust serves a community of 250,000 people across Tameside & Glossop. We provide a range of services both within the hospital and across our community for both adults and children. Our vision is to improve health outcomes for our population and influence wider determinants of health through collaboration with our health & care partners.
We have a clear set of values & behaviours which we expect all of our staff to demonstrate:
- Compassion
- Accountability
- Respect
- Excellence
We believe that the best organisations are those that reflect the communities they serve. We are therefore seeking to improve the diversity of our workforce to make it truly representative of our local population.
We actively encourage applications irrespective of race, age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage & civil partnership, or pregnancy or maternity. Recognising those communities that are underrepresented within our workforce, we would particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian & minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ & Disabled people.
Benefits include; flexible working, 27-33 days annual leave plus bank holidays, sick pay, NHS Pension Scheme, free eye tests and health checks, gym discount, free bicycle loan scheme, salary sacrifice car scheme, support with stress, bereavement, relationships, finance, and much more.
