It is such an exciting time to be part of the Trust, you will be responsible for the assessment of care needs and the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care to women and their babies throughout pregnancy, labour, and the postnatal period.
We are looking for fantastic midwifery graduates who can use their newly acquired learning to positively impact women, families and communities throughout their professional lives.

"You never forget the first day you help a woman bring a new life into the world!"
My day varies from week to week. Some days I'm in the hospital providing labour care for both low and high risk women. Other days I may be running my own antenatal clinic or conducting postnatal visits out in the community.
I am extremely proud of myself for becoming a midwife, especially after being told by a careers adviser at college that I should contemplate a different career path because my A-level grades weren't high enough. It just goes to show that if you put your mind to something you can do it!
I enjoy witnessing the transition women go through during their pregnancy, birth and post natal period and feel very privileged to be able to be part of that journey with them.
Being a midwife is an exceptionally rewarding career and I am extremely grateful to have a job which I love. However, it doesn't come without its challenges. I have to work weekends, sometimes missing our on friends and family's events and stay behind late at work.
But don't let it put you off because I promise that seeing the difference you've made and how you have impacted a woman's life no matter how big or small- will make up for it.
