Job overview

Join the Frontline of Maternal Care: Exciting Opportunity for a Registered Midwife

The Northern Care Alliance is pleased to offer a distinguished opportunity for a dedicated and compassionate Registered Midwife to join our innovative Complex Pregnancy team. As a key member of our multidisciplinary team, you will deliver expert midwifery care to women experiencing high-risk pregnancies, working closely with our esteemed Oldham Fetal Medicine Unit and Antenatal Day Unit. This role also offers a special focus on bereavement care, providing vital support during sensitive times.

Make a Meaningful Impact on Expectant Mothers’ Lives

In this rewarding and dynamic position, you will collaborate with experienced midwives and healthcare professionals to provide personalised, evidence-based care to women facing complex pregnancy challenges—including preterm labour, multiple pregnancies, and other high-risk conditions. Your expertise and compassion will be central to delivering exceptional care and support, empowering women to experience safe and positive pregnancy journeys during difficult times.

Main duties of the job

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of families facing challenging times? We are seeking a dedicated healthcare professional to deliver compassionate antenatal and postnatal care to families who have experienced pregnancy loss or are navigating the difficult journey of bereavement.

What You’ll Do:

  • Offer empathetic, evidence-based care within our Fetal Medicine Unit and Antenatal Day Unit, ensuring every woman feels supported, understood, and cared for during their pregnancy journey.
  • Provide expert clinical guidance to identify and manage risk factors early, facilitating appropriate referrals to tertiary units and specialists when necessary.
  • Coordinate seamless pathways for women at risk of preterm birth, ensuring they receive timely interventions and personalised support to optimise outcomes.

Why Join Us?

Be part of a compassionate team that values kindness as much as clinical excellence. Your expertise will help families find hope and reassurance during one of the most sensitive times of their lives. Together, we can make a profound difference—one family at a time.

If you’re committed to delivering heartfelt, evidence-based care with empathy and professionalism, we want to hear from you.
