An opportunity has arisen to expand our obstetric team and appoint two new Obstetric Consultants at Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital (BWCH). The successful candidates will have the responsibility for providing care to women with complex and high-risk pregnancies and be part of the multi-disciplinary team that works across the Trust. BWCH provides tertiary referral services in fetal and maternal medicine, supported by a Level 3 neonatal unit.
The successful candidates will be joining a well-established team that provides specialist and high-risk services for women in the care of the Trust. Birthing around 7,400 women per year, Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital is one of the busiest maternity units in the region and as such are looking for someone motivated, capable, and with strong leadership skills. The successful candidates will be those that embrace our Trust values and have a passion for delivering high-quality and safe care. We are therefore looking for someone who is Ambitious, Brave, and Compassionate, with a commitment to continually improve our services, which have just been rated green by the CQC.
Our Trust is a split site and our Maternity services are based at the Women’s Hospital site. Both successful candidates will be expected to work from this base.
These post holders will be part of the Obstetric service, working closely with colleagues in the direct team and across Obstetric services and networks. The attached job descriptions describe the services at our Trust and outline both proposed job descriptions for the roles available.
These posts are advertised as full-time roles; however, applicants wishing to be considered for a position with fewer sessions are welcome to apply. The post holders are required to have full registration with the General Medical Council & a valid license to practice medicine at this level. Full details of the personal specifications are included in the job descriptions.
Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust is the first of its type in the UK. Our Trust was formed in February 2017 to drive forward our commitment to provide the highest quality, world-class physical and mental health care for our women, children, and families. Uniting our hospitals means more seamless care; more investment to make greater advances in our specialist treatment and world-leading neonatal and fetal work. Importantly, it also gives us a greater voice in shaping the future of family-centred care.
Birmingham Children's Hospital is a UK leading specialist paediatric centre with an international reputation in several areas.
Birmingham Women's Hospital is one of two dedicated women's hospitals in the UK, with the busiest single-site maternity unit, delivering more than 7,400 babies a year, offering a full range of gynaecological, maternity, and neonatal care.
Our Trust is committed to creating the best place to work. We believe in promoting and enhancing inclusion, diversity, and equality and encourage applications from all areas of the community, who meet the criteria for the role, regardless of age, gender identity, disability, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
