Band 6 Midwife

Come join our highly motivated but friendly Midwifery team, where commitment to providing high quality, holistic care is our passion.

This is an exciting yet challenging time, as we embrace a period of improvement and development.

We are looking for midwives to join our teams at Worthing.

We are therefore inviting self‑motivated, dynamic, professional midwives with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to join our proactive, professional maternity team. If you are a midwife who would like to be a part of our future and can meet this challenge, we welcome your interest in a post with us – please apply today!

All posts will include shift working (including night duty) and on call duty. The successful applicants will receive a comprehensive orientation programme and are assured that they will receive appropriate support.

• Be responsible as an autonomous practitioner for assessing, diagnosing and providing professional clinical midwifery care to women during the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal stages without referral to a medical practitioner.
• To ensure referral to the appropriate health professional and to work in partnership with that health professional to ensure safe standards of care.

At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always deliver Excellent Care Everywhere, as shown in our Outstanding for Caring CQC rating. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed. We have a range of staff networks to help break down barriers, and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in.

We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level

Secondments can’t be agreed without this approval. If you are unable to gain approval you should refrain from applying unless you wish to take this role as a fixed term position.
