At Saint Mary’s - Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust our success starts with you.

We want you to come to Saint Mary's and stay at Saint Mary's because our success starts with you. All of our staff have been involved in developing our Nursing and Midwifery Values. We believe that they make Saint Mary's a better place for patients and staff. If you have the passion to provide kind, safe and excellent care we can offer you a great place to work and develop your career. We are focused on improving quality: for our patients, their carers/families and for our staff.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced midwife for a secondment as Team Leader with the Community Midwifery Team with the Saint Mary's Managed Clinical Service. The post is for the Community Midwifery teams based at the Oxford Road Campus which provide care for the women of Central Manchester, Salford and Trafford. The Community Team Leader will develop and lead a community of care team.

Maternity services at Saint Mary's provide women living in Manchester, Trafford, Salford, the North West and beyond with primary, secondary and tertiary obstetric services. Saint Mary's is renowned both regionally and nationally for its research, clinical fetal and maternal medicine services. Saint Mary's has a very varied and complex patient population.

In this role you will manage a team of midwives and develop practice as a midwifery expert; providing advice to colleagues in the organisation and working in partnership with a range of other agencies. You will work closely with the Matrons and Lead Midwives and will have access to a bespoke development plan.

You will be resilient and able to manage complex situations as well as being well organised and innovative. A proven track record of supporting change processes, coupled with good influencing and negotiation skills are key attributes required for this post in order to provide an integrated and effective service focusing on the delivery and assurance of safe, high quality patient care across our services.If you choose this role then we will commit to supporting your on-going personal and professional development, including the opportunity to maintain your clinical role within the clinical setting.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the ‘NHS England’ website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
