You will have the opportunity to rotate to all clinical areas within the acute unit and enhance your skills and knowledge in all aspects of maternity care.

We are proud of our excellent facilities which offer women real choice in place of birth. We achieve 1:1 care for all women choosing to birth with us, in every birth setting - Home Birth, Midwifery Led and Obstetric Led.
We have been nominated several times for RCM awards and are internationally recognised for our research and practises into ‘Kangaroo Care’, for the promotion of well-being in transitional care babies.
We have a vibrant workforce, and encourage the sharing of ideas and innovation from staff, to contribute to the evolution of our services, and shaping our strategy towards an outstanding organisation of the future.
If you are energetic, committed, and passionate then come and join our team, and be part of a Trust which is truly women centred and proud of its achievements.
