Our midwives work as autonomous practitioners within supportive multidisciplinary teams, providing care throughout the pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey. Opportunities are available across our integrated maternity service, including community midwifery teams and core hospital areas. Applicants should be motivated, adaptable and willing to contribute across all areas of midwifery practice.

We offer a range of shift patterns, including 7.5-hour, 10.5-hour and 12-hour shifts, supporting greater flexibility and work-life balance.

Forth Valley Royal Hospital is a modern acute hospital set within attractive woodland surroundings. Midwives also provide care from community hubs, enabling women and families to receive high-quality maternity care closer to home.

Our maternity facilities include a well-established alongside midwifery unit with two birthing pools. Labour ward rooms are designed to support a calm and welcoming birth environment, with access to portable CTG monitoring, aromatherapy and a range of equipment to support movement, comfort and individual birth preferences.
