Community Midwife
The postholder is responsible to the Matron and the Team leader and will assist him/her to provide a high standard of midwifery care in the community setting. The successful candidate will work in a community team providing care to antenatal women in clinics and postnatal women and their babies.
The postholder will be expected to carry out all relevant forms of midwifery care and will supervise other midwives, preceptors, maternity assistants, and students as necessary.
Main duties of the job
At Epsom and St Helier we pride ourselves in offering flexible working arrangements, a robust in-service training package, appropriate ratios for statutory supervision of midwives, and a positive working culture.
We are looking to recruit a Band 6 midwife at Epsom hospital into one of our two community midwifery teams. If you want to work in community, this is an excellent opportunity for you to support antenatal women through their pregnancy journey and to deliver postnatal care to women at home/clinics during the postnatal period. We use Badgernet to document our care and we are a BFI Gold accredited Trust.
If you are interested and would like to know more information then please contact me to discuss further; I look forward to speaking to you.
Working for our organisation
St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).
After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
