Triage Midwife

Would your ideal job be to be the first point of contact for women coming into our new Triage Unit at the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital ?

Do you enjoy assessing different situations and referring to the correct department or giving advice?

Do you enjoy variety in your job?

If so, we are looking for an experienced Midwife to complement our existing team of Hospital Based Triage Midwives.

Our Triage department is the first point of call for all women coming or calling into the unit.

We are looking for a dynamic, inspirational midwife to transfer their existing skills and interests to our unit.

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated, ambitious, kind and enthusiastic midwife to join our team who are committed to providing high quality care.

As a trust, we care for approximately 6000 births every year and cover a very diverse population. This is an exciting opportunity for midwives, who are passionate about making a difference to join our team of highly skilled midwives in maternity.

We want to help you develop and enhance your skills and maximise your potential in all aspects of midwifery. We actively encourage staff development and have a fantastic clinical education team to provide our in house, multidisciplinary professional development training. We have excellent links with local universities for post registration development.

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB) serves Birmingham and the Black Country - one of the country's most culturally diverse areas. It's a friendly and welcoming place - a place where you can belong, and a place where you can grow.

We care for our patients, we care about our population, and we care about our people.

Our values - Ambition, Respect and Compassion - are at the heart of who we are. They guide us every step of the way; how we work with each other, and how we look after our patients and their families; how we respect and value the rich diversity of our team and our community.

Our Trust has always aspired to be more than a hospital, more than a healthcare provider. Our purpose is "Improve the Life Chances and Health Outcomes of our Population." It is what inspires, drives, and unites us every day. It's what makes us unique.

We want working at SWB to feel like more than just a job. We want our Trust to be a place where you can feel you belong. A place where you feel happy, safe, and rewarded. A place where you can develop your career in whatever way you choose. When we say we're 'with you all the way' we want you to know that we mean it.
