This is an exciting opportunity to join the Private Maternity Unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. The Kensington Wing is looking for individuals to join our dedicated private maternity team providing exceptional patient care and delivering an above and beyond patient experience whilst embracing the Trust values.
If you are an experienced and motivated midwife with a passion for exceeding expectation whilst championing a personalised approach to care, we would love to hear from you. You will have demonstrable clinical competencies, and bring an outstanding "can do" attitude which has the patient experience at the heart of everything you do. You will be able to establish your credibility with multiple stakeholders including consultants and midwives and enjoy being part of a high performing team. The Kensington Wing team prides itself on being family-friendly, compassionate and a place to nurture and grow its staff members to reach their full potential.
You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You will be able to motivate and engage others to ensure services support the Trust’s values, whilst demonstrating a pioneering approach to challenge convention and traditional ways of working to provide the best care possible for our families.
Working in private maternity maintains NHS length of service and pension contributions, as you are employed by the Trust.
This midwife will work closely with the obstetric consultants on Kensington Wing (Private Maternity Unit) to deliver a high standard of midwifery care to their patients. It is recognised that these women have chosen private consultant-led obstetric care. This midwife may also be involved in the care of our midwifery-led women on occasion.
As Kensington Wing is a whole maternity unit this midwife will participate in a varied work day that may include looking after women who are either in labour or having an induction of labour, supporting women going to theatre for an elective caesarean section, supporting women and their families in the postnatal period or triaging walk-ins as appropriate.
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is proud to be one of the top performing and safest trusts in England. We have two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, plus our award-winning clinics across North West London and beyond.
