Midwife Jobs in the NHS

NHS midwifery posts cover antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care across hospital labour wards, birth centres, and community caseloads. Community midwives tend to manage their own caseload with more autonomy, while hospital-based midwives work shifts covering labour ward, triage, and postnatal wards. Posts start at Band 5, with senior and specialist roles at Band 6-7.
