Job responsibilities
We are seeking a dedicated and motivated midwife to work as part of the maternity service training and development team as the lead midwife for fetal monitoring. The successful post holder will work alongside the obstetric lead consultant for fetal monitoring to lead in the delivery of fetal heart monitoring and audit within the maternity service.

You will have continuing responsibility for ensuring that there is an ongoing programme of education for clinical staff within maternity services and this education is delivered in a suitable style to ensure that staff are provided up to date clinical care.
In addition, you will be responsible for consolidating existing knowledge and skills, improving standards and appropriate management of care.
