Midwife jobs in United Kingdom

Following registration, UCLH NHS Foundation Trust offers all newly qualified midwife (NQ) practitioners the opportunity of further developing their confidence and enhancing their clinical skills in a supportive environment. This is facilitated within the formal Preceptorship Rotational Programme. We align to the Capital Midwife Framework and continuously review the programme.

Please note: This post is only open to candidates who undertook their student midwife clinical placement at UCLH.

Assessment Centre: Wednesday 10th December 2025 – no alternative dates available.

The post holder will undertake a 12‑month rotational training programme covering all clinical areas of the Maternity Service. This includes working in an inpatient setting (e.g. during an antenatal or postnatal admission of a woman to the unit), an outpatient setting (e.g. supporting women with antenatal care and education) and intrapartum care (e.g. assisting women in labour, during their birth and in the immediate period following birth).

This rotational programme provides an opportunity to develop your confidence and enhance your clinical skills. We strive to achieve a supportive culture at UCLH, reflecting our Trust Values.

The overall aim of the rotational programme is to provide you with the opportunity to consolidate the learning from your training and ensure that, as a newly qualified midwife, you are able to practice in a safe and effective manner, understanding both your responsibility as a midwife and your sphere of practice as outlined in the NMC Code.
