Summary
This is a brilliant opportunity for a dedicated, qualified Midwife who wants to take responsibility for the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of midwifery care for women and their families. We are flexible in approach and will consider requests to work in specific areas of our midwifery service or those looking for rotational experience.
Saint Mary’s Managed Clinical Service (MCS) are proud to be the largest maternity service in the country providing care for women across Greater Manchester, supporting around 17,500 births each year. Wherever your interests lie, we’ll support you to develop your specialist skills to enable you to progress your career in midwifery.
For this role you will be driven to providing the best possible care and be passionate about midwifery and the importance of the services we provide. You will be focussed, caring, and dedicated and will strive to work as part of an effective team.
Let us tell you more about why this could be your next and best career move.
In your application, please confirm which of our sites you would most be interested in working at and we will consider this as part of the selection process.
Using your well-honed leadership skills, you’ll act as a support to the Ward Manager or Team Leader, deputise for them when necessary, and develop and maintain organisational and managerial skills relevant to the ward or department. Implementing the Trust’s annual appraisal process will be another key duty, as will participating and leading in the Improving Quality Programme.
As a motivating and inspirational mentor, you’ll be a resource for all our midwives, support staff and students, encouraging a high level of achievement in everyone you work with. You’ll all ensure the clinical environment is conducive to supporting education and learning, and see that mentorship training is updated annually.
Your organisational and management skills will help you understand and appreciate the cost implications associated with our service, and ensure the effective use of all the resources we use.
The maintenance of your own professional development will be key to your success, and you’ll also help to promote awareness of current developments in midwifery, and look out for every opportunity to increase your own knowledge, skills and expertise.
Dedicated to providing an environment that encourages patient-centred involvement, you’ll promote good working relationships with all the internal and external departments you work with, with the ultimate aim of providing the best patient journey possible.
