Consultant Led Care - Private Maternity Midwife

This midwife will work closely with the obstetric consultants on Kensington Wing (Private Maternity Unit) to deliver a high standard of midwifery care to their patients. It is recognised that these women have chosen private consultant-led obstetric care to ensure continuity of care.

As Kensington Wing isa whole maternity unit this midwife will participate in a varied work day that may include looking after women who are either in labour or having an induction of labour, supporting women going to theatre for an elective caesarean section, supporting women and their families in the postnatal period or triaging walk-ins as appropriate.

If you are an experienced and motivated midwife with a passion for exceeding expectation whilst championing a personalised approach to care, we would love to hear from you. You will have demonstrable clinical competencies, and bring an outstanding "can do" attitude which has the patient experience at the heart of everything you do. You will be able to establish your credibility with multiple stakeholders including consultants and midwives and enjoy being part of a high performing team. The Kensington Wing team prides itself on being family-friendly, compassionate and a place to nurture and grow its staff members to reach their full potential.

You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You will be able to motivate and engage others to ensure services support the Trust's values, whilst demonstrating a pioneering approach to challenge convention and traditional ways of working to provide the best care possible for our families.

Working in private maternity maintains NHS length of service and pension contributions, as you are employed by the Trust.
