A Vacancy at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.


At West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, we have a great opportunity for Maternity Support Workers to join our team.

MSW’s work in partnership with the midwife to offer clinical care as well as emotional support to women. Please note some positions will be required to work shifts, including nights and weekends.

Maternity Support Workers will be expected to complete the MSW Apprenticeship programme (or equivalent) within 2 years of appointment or already be on the pathway. Candidates will hold the CARE certificate or will complete within 12 weeks of appointment.

We would like to invite you to join our highly motivated midwifery team where commitment to providing high quality, woman-centred care is our passion. We are forward thinking with motivated staffs who strive to improve the quality of the service that we offer to our women, their babies and their families.

We can offer you:
• A bespoke training programme to meet the HEE Maternity Support Worker competency standards
• Full training in venepuncture and additional training as required
• A new Electronic patient record system which will streamline the use of data and technology to improve patient care



The Maternity Support Worker uses additional skills to enhance the service offered to women and their families. MSW’s will work alongside but under the guidance of, practitioners at all levels from the multidisciplinary team including, but not limited to: obstetricians; midwives; ultrasonographers; physiotherapists and advanced practitioners.

MSWs may serve as a point of contact/support for women and their families and provide clinical, physical, psychological and emotional care and support; they provide appropriate information and, where necessary, signpost to wider support organisations. They report to registered practitioners where planned delegated care has been provided.

MSW’s work under the guidance and direction of the midwife to assist in the delivery of care to women in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods. MSW’s will also assist in the care of the newborn as appropriate on the postnatal ward.



With a new hospital planned for Watford and work underway to update theatres at St Albans City Hospital, this is an exciting time to join us.

We are building on the success of our award-winning virtual hospital and re-imaging models of care, working ever more closely with partners and making the most of advances in digital healthcare.

Staff wellbeing and development are a priority at our Trust, as is the role of innovation in improving clinical care, outcomes and patient experience.

Our vision is Excellent patient care, together and our values are to be empowered, compassionate, professional and inclusive. They capture an important balance across what we must all do as individuals and to support others.

At West Herts we offer a variety of flexible working options as we recognise the importance of a good work life balance and the ability to work flexibly.
