Responsibilities include:

1. Assessing the full range of care needs within the maternity unit and developing, implementing, and evaluating safe care for low and high-risk birthing people and their families.
2. Working autonomously within professional practice guidelines.
3. Acting as a mentor to junior midwives, students, and other members of the multidisciplinary team.
4. Promoting equality, diversity, and rights.
5. Providing constructive feedback and support to help junior midwives develop their clinical skills.
6. Prioritizing time to ensure safe care is delivered to birthing people and families.
7. Maintaining privacy and dignity of birthing people and their babies.
8. Ensuring the health and social setting responds to individual needs, especially those who are disadvantaged.

Torbay and South Devon Maternity Unit is committed to providing high-quality, safe, and tailored care throughout pregnancy.

You will work as part of a team of midwives and maternity support workers, collaborating within a multidisciplinary team to deliver excellent, safe services. A passion for your role and a willingness to learn new skills are essential.
