Job overview

We are looking to recruit an experienced Band 6 Midwife to join our team of Midwives within the Education Team. This is a great developmental opportunity to explore roles within maternity education. If you are an experienced, NMC-registered Midwife with a valid NMC PIN and are passionate about making a difference in training and development, we would love to hear from you. By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to bring your wealth of knowledge and experience to our maternity service.

Main duties of the job

  • To provide a full range of health education, psychological and social care advice to women, including preconception care where required and in various settings 
  •   To be responsible and accountable for the full range of care needs and develop, implement and evaluate programs of care throughout the antenatal, intra partum and postnatal period for women and their babies. 
  •   To act as a preceptor for newly qualified midwives and other staff. 
  • To work autonomously within guidelines and spheres of professional practice.  

Working for our organisation

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.

Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.

These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 88,000 scans a year. 

The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
