Crowborough, United Kingdom Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust Full time

Job overview

Better Births offers choice for women and we at MTW are offering you an exciting opportunity to be part of a core team of midwives at Crowborough Birth Centre. You will become part of a team of passionate midwives with a special interest in midwife-led care supporting physiological birth and promoting safety in a low risk setting. We are particularly interested in hearing from midwives with experience of providing low-risk intrapartum care in community settings. You will work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team to ensure the highest standards of care and safety for women, pregnant people and families. 

Main duties of the job

It is an exciting time for our service and we would love you to join our team of Midwives and help us to shape our services to support women’s choice in place of birth. We offer a comprehensive orientation package, covering all aspects of our service. You will have support from our excellent team of Midwives throughout this period.

You will need to have completed a preceptorship programme and achieved midwifery competencies such as cannulation, water birth and suturing. We operate an on call system for both community and hospital midwifery which you will be willing to participate in.

Working for our organisation

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital Trust in the county of Kent.

The Trust provides a full range of general hospital services and some areas of specialist complex care to around 760,000 people living in the south part of West Kent and the north part of East Sussex.

The Trust’s core catchment areas are Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells and their surrounding boroughs. We work from two main clinical sites: Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury. Tunbridge Wells Hospital opened in 2011 and provides single rooms with en-suites for all in-patients – the first of its kind in the country.

We employ more than 7,000 full and part-time staff in a huge range of clinical and non-clinical roles across both of our hospital sites.

Would you like to work flexibly? In the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us, for our patients and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement 

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Once your pre-employment checks have been completed you will be contacted by Recruitment to arrange your start date which will be in line with one of our Corporate Inductions.

Following your Corporate Induction you will be expected to attend the Trust’s 2-week Induction Programme for RNs, NAs, RMs, ODPs and Paramedics. The programme is full-time (please email if this is problematic) and will involve travel to both Trust sites. The programme includes supernumerary shifts in the clinical area, classroom-based sessions and e-learning.

Please note that appointment to this post will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure & Barring Service Check at enhanced level. (Enhanced level now includes regulated checks against vulnerable adults and children)

At MTW, we seek to develop a culture where everyone can reach their full potential with opportunities to grow and develop their career. We recognise and value the unique contributions that each of our staff bring, delivering the best quality care and service to our patients. We are committed to being a diverse employer and strive to reflect everyone in our local communities.
