This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Midwife to provide maternity leave cover full time fixed for one-year, within the Department of Midwifery and CPD in the Three Counties School of Nursing and Midwifery. The successful candidate will support delivery of clinical skills teaching and practice placement support across the pre-registration Midwifery programmes.
The BSc (Hons) Midwifery course is a UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative accredited course, achieving 100% overall student satisfaction in the NSS 2020. The educational aim of the pre-registration programme is to ensure that midwives, at the point of registration, are equipped to provide skilled, knowledgeable, respectful and compassionate care. This relates to all women, newborn infants and their families across the continuum from pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, labour and birth, postpartum and early weeks of newborn infants’ life (NMC 2019).
The Maternity Service User Group, supported by the Lead Midwife of Education (LME) play a key part in the student learning journey from taster days to assessment and evaluation promoting student empathy and understanding of the power of the women’s voice, which is a local driver.
The successful candidate will join a team of enthusiastic, committed, and friendly staff and will work collaboratively with colleagues across the Department, School and the wider University. Our Midwifery academics have a growing scholarly, research and publication profile and are committed to building on achievements in learning, teaching and research.
