Are you an organised and motivated individual seeking an opportunity to work within a busy maternity service?

From time to time, you will have direct contact with service users and their families and being able to meet their needs with a smile and a friendly greeting will help make their stay with us much better.
• You will work as part of a busy team, and respect and integrity are an essential part of the ethos of working together that drives our unit. This is a busy role with varying demands, so building an effective rapport with colleagues and being ready to take their guidance and offer your support will be really important.
• Our maternity unit is committed to offering the best possible care to our service users and their families, and this requires dedication from all our staff, and this role will be no exception.
