We are very keen to encourage community midwives with an interest in providing care across the pregnancy and postnatal journey to apply to work with us to deliver outstanding community based Antenatal and Postnatal Care to the mothers and families in this area. We are also commited to provision of our home birth service and would particularly welcome community midwives with an interest in further developing this important area of care.
