Are you an Adult Nurse who would like to become a midwife?
If the answer is ‘yes’ we would like to help you to do this through our pre-registration BSc (Hons) Midwifery (shortened) programme. We work closely with the University of Suffolk to support your application to change career and we currently have vacancies for the September 2025 cohort.
A student midwife works under the direction of a qualified midwife in order to determine and provide programmes of care and support for women. Provides seamless care and interventions in partnership with women and other care providers during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period.
The theoretical components of the course are led by the University of Suffolk in Ipswich. Teaching is provided via virtual classrooms and on-campus teaching and is organised into modules that are spread across the duration of the course. Practical placements are offered within the Trust, and you will be placed in various clinical locations to enable you to meet the NMC practice requirements. Clinical placements will include a community midwifery placement, midwifery led birthing unit, labour suite, antenatal clinic, a health visitor placement and neonatal unit placement. You will also spend some time at another trust experiencing leadership and team working.

Students will work a full range of shifts in practice including nights and weekends to maximise their learning opportunities. During your placements you will be supported by a practice supervisor and practice assessor. The course is 24 months long, finishing September 2027.
Successful applicants will be invited to an interview day which will take place in conjunction with university lecturers and trust personnel.
Recruitment is taking place at several partner trusts across East Anglia for the same course. If you apply to more than one NHS trust via nhsjobs, you will be interviewed only once but by a panel of representatives from your chosen trusts alongside a representative from the University. Please specify in your application which trusts you have applied to (or are intending to apply to). Please only apply to the Trust where you wish to be employed for your practice placements and can commute to.
*Please note, the NMC stipulate that shortened midwifery training can only be offered to qualified Adult Nurses (child branch, mental health, ODP and other healthcare practitioners will unfortunately not be considered). If you are an internal candidate please ensure you have had a discussion with your line manager and have confirmation of their support and the Head of Nursing before submitting your application*
There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome.
We love working here and think you will too.
