Continuity Midwife

As a dedicated midwife, your main duties will revolve around providing safe, clinically effective and individualised care to women and birthing people throughout their pregnancy journey.

This role offers the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, support positive birth experiences, and make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of our community. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will deliver safe, high-quality, and compassionate care.

We are committed to the national maternity agenda and also have an impressive home birth record.

You'll work flexibly across antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal settings (inpatient/community) with a defined caseload, ensuring seamless continuity for those in your care. Excellent communication, clinical confidence, and a passion for promoting choice are essential.

When working in one of our established teams, you will have time to complete visits for your caseload, and other times where you will be available to care for women in labour (hospital, birth centre and home).You and your team write your own rota, decide on annual leave and support each other in weekly team meetings. This allows you to gain transferrable skills such as time management, prioritisation and team working.
