Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a unique organisation, serving as the sole integrated provider in the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire system. Our scope extends beyond boundaries as we oversee adult community services in Swindon and provide acute care from the Great Western Hospital.

Our 5,500 staff have 1.2m patient contacts a year, with 13,000 operations carried out in our Theatres, around 4,000 babies born, and our emergency attendances are now well over 100,000 per year. Those numbers only tell part of our story about what an exciting time it is to join Great Western Hospitals.

We are cultivating a culture that fosters our ambitions, prioritising equality, inclusion, wellbeing, and leadership. We aim to create an environment where every member of our team can truly thrive.

This role is offered on a part time basis of 25 hours per week. Candidates interested in working part time are encouraged to apply and will receive a salary on a pro rata basis.

As part of this we have a number of opportunities for both experienced and newly appointed band 6 midwives to join our fabulous community team.

We are looking for midwives who have experience across all maternity areas, can demonstrate kindness and compassion, and are passionate about providing gold standard care to the families who choose to birth with us.

We have full and part time vacancies in our community midwifery team and will consider a mixture of shifts and flexible working patterns.

The post holder is required to provide holistic midwifery care to women/birthing people and babies in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods.

The post holder will deputise for the Band 7 in all clinical areas. The role is multidimensional and requires the post holder to integrate and fulfil all the identified dimensions.

We are proud to be part of BSW Hospitals Group – a formal partnership between Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust and Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust. With a combined workforce of over 17,600 colleagues, and budget of 1.6 billion the Group is united by a common purpose to deliver the best possible care to over 1 million people.

We are creating a health and care system that works with the people we care for, reducing the differences people currently face in access, experience and outcomes, improving the experience of our colleagues and tackling shared challenges like sustainability and finances. Every improvement we make across our Group will be guided by what creates the greatest benefit for our colleagues, our patients, our communities and our partners.

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