Band 7 Community Midwife - Teenage Pregnancy and Enhanced Continuity of Care (ECOC)
Are you a dynamic, passionate and innovative midwife? Do you want to be in charge of your own caseload and manage your own clinics? Are you inspired to support low risk women to birth in their own home?
If you can answer yes to any or all of the above, we would like to talk to you as we are currently recruiting Community Midwives. We are looking for midwives who are dedicated to providing evidence based, individualised, women centred care to complement our existing service. Band 5 midwives who will shortly be completing their preceptorship and wish to work in the community are welcome to apply. You would need to demonstrate completion and sign off of competencies to be eligible for this post.

We have opportunities for being involved in Pan London working, involvement in projects across East London’s Local Maternity System (LMS) in relation to maternity transformation, and great opportunities for partnership working particularly with our Children’s and Maternity Safeguarding teams.
You will need to be confident in working alone and as part of a supportive community midwifery team. We are keen on talent management and professional development at BHRUT, so you will be actively encouraged to develop your career with access to further training opportunities such as Examination of the Newborn.
