… it’s an exciting yet challenging time for the Maternity Services at GWH, as we embrace a period of improvement and development.

We would like to invite you to join our highly motivated and friendly Midwifery team. We are committed to providing high quality, family‑centred care.

Are you self‑motivated, dynamic, professional midwives with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to join our proactive, professional maternity team?

If you are this midwife and would like to be a part of our future and can meet this challenge, we welcome your interest in a post with us - please apply today!

(Please note, if you prefer working on a part‑time basis you will receive a salary on a pro‑rata basis subject to hours offered)

The post holder is required to provide holistic midwifery care to women/birthing people and babies in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods. The midwifery care is provided both in hospital, Birth Centre, Day assessment Unit, Maternity Triage and Transitional Care Unit settings.

As part of this we have a number of opportunities for both experienced and newly qualified midwives to join our fabulous team in all Maternity settings.

We have a fantastic package for Newly qualified midwives and a dedicated Preceptorship Lead Midwife who provides invaluable support to guide you through.

We are looking for midwives who can demonstrate kindness and compassion and are passionate about providing gold standard care to the families who choose to birth with us.

Our STAR values – Service, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect – are a golden thread running through everything we do. These values serve as a guiding principle, driving us towards our vision of delivering great joined up services to our local community. Whether at home, in the community, or within the hospital, our goal is to empower individuals to lead independent and healthier lives.

All posts will include shift working (including night duty) and on‑call duty. The successful applicants will receive an orientation programme and are assured that they will receive appropriate support.

Being a Midwife at The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is a truly remarkable and rewarding career.

Here at GWH, we are proud to be able to facilitate an average of 4000 births per year. As a Trust, we are lucky to boast a collocated birth centre, home birth service, Day Assessment and Maternity Triage, so it really is an exciting time to come and work with us.
