BB is an award winning community-based midwifery team specialising in the care of vulnerable women / birthing people e.g. mental health, domestic violence, child protection and families with complex needs within the Trust.

The BB team provides an intensive community based preventative approach to women with additional needs during the ante and postnatal period.

You will be an experienced, autonomous, motivated and passionate midwife providing additional professional support to women, partners and families who are identified as being vulnerable both in the community and hospital setting by carrying your own caseload of women. You will provide midwifery care to your own caseload of women throughout the transition into motherhood.
