Come and join our amazing maternity team.
We have a very successful and sought-after workforce. We invest in our midwives and support staff, helping with their professional development at the start of their career.
The role of maternity support worker is to assist, support and work in collaboration with the midwife and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide a safe and holistic approach to women-centred care. The post is rotational and the employee will be provided with appropriate training for the clinical setting in which they are working. These settings include antenatal, postnatal, inpatient and outpatient care, and intrapartum inpatient care.
The post holder is expected to undertake a set of defined competencies including the ‘care certificate’. This certificate ensures the minimum standards for the role are met and can further be incorporated into a ‘skills passport’. Support will be given to employees to further develop their skills and explore pathways for progression where appropriate.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone.
Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this
population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation,
and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
Please refer to the job description and person specification for further details.
All staff are well supported by a strong PDM team and Professional Midwifery Advocates, as well as our Senior Midwifery Team.
