We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and proactive Band 7 midwife who is passionate about delivering a high-quality service to the women of East Kent.

We embrace learning and development, provide supportive working environments and truly engage with our teams and women. Our recently revamped training program embraces human factors training as a golden thread throughout helping us to deliver high quality safe care for all.
