An exciting opportunity has become available within the HHFT maternity service for an experienced midwife to join the Practice Development Team as a Band 6 Clinical Educator Midwife in the Basingstoke site.

* Supporting ‘Clinical Skills Roadshows’ alongside the Practice Development Team
* Contributing to improving maternity services
* Supporting the band 5 preceptorship programme alongside the Practice Development Team
* Welcoming and orientating new starters to the trust
* Identifying areas of education in maternity that require improvements and liaising these with the practice development team
* Being visible and approachable to the maternity team
* Flexibility to work clinically to help your colleagues when the unit activity is high
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
