Are you a registered midwife with a passion for community care? We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated band 6 Midwife who is keen to join and help further develop our community midwifery team based at Shotley Bridge Community Hospital. We have so many new development opportunities on the horizon at CDDFT; it is a very exciting time to be a part of our Maternity family! Our team of community midwives within Derwentside provide care to women and families across a varied urban and rural area, including the beautiful Durham Dales.
We have a very diverse case load, including vulnerable and isolated communities, providing opportunities to make a real difference to the families in your care. We have a well-established and well-led team of midwives within the team, who you will find very welcoming and supportive. The team is assisted by the wider maternity team, including a dedicated Community Matron and Matron for Public Health and Inequalities. We are very keen to encourage community midwives with an interest in providing care across the pregnancy and postnatal journey to apply to work with us to deliver outstanding community-based Antenatal and Postnatal Care to the mothers and families in this area.
We are also committed to relaunching the provision of our home birth service and would particularly welcome community midwives with an interest in further developing this important area of care. The focus of our dedicated community teams is patient-centred and individualised care, providing support and continuity throughout the antenatal and postnatal period and promoting choice to families from across our diverse communities. We are looking for an individual with a passion for health promotion, as the role of community midwife at our trust includes working within the UNICEF framework for Infant Feeding, and close working relationships with our specialist antenatal and newborn screening Team to deliver all elements of the National Screening programme.
You will be very well supported with a bespoke induction and training package by members of our specialist Practice Development Team who will ensure your support as you transition to your new role both professionally and personally. The successful candidate will be supported and encouraged to seek educational opportunities to further their Continuing Professional Development and career progression. We are a trust which actively supports and encourages lifelong learning and development and we are very keen to support you to achieve your full potential with us. In turn, you will have the opportunity to assist in supporting the development of our preceptorship, Internationally Educated and student midwives. We strongly encourage a culture of lifelong learning and development here at CDDFT and you will be encouraged and supported to continue to develop and thrive in your role as a community midwife.
We offer a full range of CPD funded opportunities, including NIPE and NLS training and are passionate about promoting leadership and development opportunities to our midwives. We are very proud of our team and we are certain there is a role you will enjoy within our community midwifery service at CDDFT. All of our teams work under the care of a dedicated team leader in each team, overseen by our Community Matron and the Matron for Public Health and Health Inequalities. Each team also has access to admin support and band 3 Maternity Support Workers who offer close support to each team.
You will also be able to access personalised pastoral care via our specialist workforce experience teams, including our retention lead midwife and the PMA service. You are very welcome to contact our Recruitment Lead to arrange a tour of our unit and family hubs, meet our fantastic team leader and the community midwives at the team base, and discuss any queries informally.
