Job summary
Could you use your midwifery experience to make a meaningful difference for women, babies and families who need additional support? Join the Jane Crookall Maternity Unit as an Enhanced Care Midwife, providing compassionate, trauma-informed care across hospital and community settings.

Main duties of the job
Working closely with maternity, safeguarding, mental health and social care professionals, you will help coordinate personalised care for people experiencing complex psychosocial needs, mental health concerns, domestic abuse, substance misuse or other challenges affecting maternal and neonatal wellbeing.
