The successful candidates will have completed their preceptorship and will rotate across all areas of our maternity service, including the Birth Suite, Antenatal/Postnatal Ward, The Nest (Midwifery-Led Unit), and Maternity Triage.

Our maternity services were recently rated "Good" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing safe, high-quality care and ensuring a positive experience for the families we support.

We firmly believe that our staff are our greatest asset. As such, we are dedicated to fostering a positive, inclusive, and supportive working environment where every team member is valued and empowered to thrive.
