Maternity Support Workers

As our maternity services continue to grow and develop, we are delighted to offer exciting opportunities for enthusiastic and dedicated Maternity Support Workers to join our friendly and supportive team at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust., To assist the midwife in providing individualised, family-centered care through physical, social, and psychological support to birthing parents and their families throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey.
You will provide administrative support, prepare and maintain a safe environment, and implement basic care packages, performing delegated clinical procedures under the guidance and direction of the Midwives and practitioners from the Multi-Disciplinary Team., If you choose to use AI when writing a job application, it is essential to personalise the content-particularly the supporting statement. AI cannot fully understand the specific context or requirements of a role and may generate inaccurate or misleading information. Over-reliance on AI can reduce an applicant's chances of success, as it cannot effectively demonstrate how individual knowledge, experience, and skills meet the job criteria. Applicants should ensure their statements reflect a personal voice and avoid a generic or robotic tone.
Please note that we monitor the use of AI in applications. Applicants who use AI are required to declare this as part of the application process.
Ordinarily, we accept online job applications only, however, as a part of reasonable adjustments, to meet different needs and requirements and ensure that applicants are able to give their best throughout the recruitment process, consideration will be given to a paper-based application, if requested. Please enquire with [email protected] or pick up an application template in person from our office.
Further details regarding the post can be obtained by contacting a Recruiting Manager as per contact details below.
How do you hear back from us?
