To work as a community midwife in one of our 5 community hubs in East Berkshire.
The unit caters for over 4200 births per annum and has been recently refurbished with a £10m investment. During the pandemic we have established community hubs in Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead and one within the hospital footprint.
We may consider job-shares or a 'buddy-scheme' which is integrated with Labour Ward or Birth Centre.
Experience of working in the community is not essential as full training and a bespoke orientation programme will be provided. Knowledge of locally spoken languages would be an advantage, but again is not essential.
Ability to drive essential.
