Job overview

We are seeking enthusiastic and dynamic midwives to join our skilled and highly motivated Maternity Triage team at Warrington Hospital. The successful post-holder will be a band 6 midwife who has successfully completed their preceptorship.

CQC have recently rated our Maternity Services as "Good" and as a team, we are committed to providing safe, effective care, providing families with a positive experience. As a result, we recognise that our staff are the key contributing factor in providing this care to families and we endeavour to provide a positive and supportive working environment.

In the 2024 CQC Maternity Survey, Warrington Hospital was revealed to be one of only eight Trusts across the country, and one of only two in the North West, whose results were rated as "better than expected" overall – meaning families’ experiences of using our maternity services were substantially better than the national average.
