London, United Kingdom Whittington Health NHS Trust Full time

Contract - Fixed term 12 months or Secondment

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and experienced midwife to join our community midwifery team as a team leader.

We look after a diverse population where women and their families are treated as individuals providing personalised care.

We are at the forefront of innovation, this includes partners staying overnight, enhanced recovery, and midwifery led induction of labour and normalising birth. We work closely alongside Health Visitors who are also part of our integrated service.

We provide a first class service, which is reflected in the number of positive compliments received from our satisfied clients

We have a beautiful Birth Centre with four pools and our Labour Ward has two birthing pools and telemetry to encourage normality.

Our midwives work a varied range of shifts and hours in all areas of midwifery including days, nights and weekends as well as an on call basis to support women birthing at home.

The successful applicant will lead a team of midwives providing both continuity of carer and traditional community midwifery services in Haringey and Islington, based at the Whittington hospital. The post holder will be responsible for delivering high quality antenatal, intrapartum and post natal care for women and their families, whilst aiding the team to meet the national ambitions for continuity of carer as well as key performance indicators such as antenatal and newborn screening targets and booking in for maternity care by 9+3 weeks gestation. Please see the job description for full details of our expectations.

Medical services have been delivered on the Whittington Hospital site for over 500 years. On 1st April 2011, Whittington Health was launched as a new Integrated Care Organisation (ICO) comprising The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust, NHS Islington and NHS Haringey. The Whittington and the community health services in Islington and Haringey are award winning organisations, delivering acute and community based health services to a population of 443,000 people.

The organisation is the biggest employer in the area, with over 4,500 staff; delivering healthcare not only on the acute hospital site which has 420 beds, but also from a variety of other community based health centres and through visits to patients homes across the boroughs to address the health needs of the local population. Whittington Health also works with other health, social care and voluntary sector partners to support patients and service users from their initial appointment whether it be with a community health team or at the hospital, all the way through to treatment and tailored after care.

We are one of the three main teaching campuses for the Royal Free and University College Medical School.

Our ICARE (Innovation, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence) Values not only help us shape what we do, but also how we do it and why. They are fundamental to the way we do business and care for our patients.

Please refer to the job description and person specification for further details. The current vacancy is as team leader for a Haringey based team of midwives, providing continuity of carer models of care as well as traditional antenatal/postnatal model of care.
