Summary
Our team at Darlington and Newton Aycliffe provide care to women and families across a varied urban and rural area. We have a very diverse case load, including vulnerable and isolated communities, providing opportunites to make a real difference to the families in your care. We have a well established and well led team of midwives within the team, who you will find very welcoming and supportive. The team are assisted by the wider maternity team, including a dedicated Community Matron and Matron for Public Health and Inequalities. 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. The focus of our dedicated community teams is patient centred and individualised care, providing support and continuity throughout the antenatal and postnatal period and promoting choice to families from across our diverse communities. We are looking for an individual with a passion for health promotion, as the role of community midwife at our Trust includes working within the UNICEF framework for Infant Feeding, and close working relationships with our specialist Antenatal and Newborn Screening Team to deliver all elements of the National Screening Programme. You will be very well supported with a bespoke induction and training package by members of our Specialist Practice Development Team who will ensure your support as you transition to your new role both professionally and personally. The successful candidate will be supported and encouraged to seek educational opportunities to further their Continuing Professional Development and career progression.
