There are opportunities to support all areas within our maternity service including 3 stand-alone midwifery led units, community, birthing centre located within the innovative Northumbria specialist emergency care centre (NSECH), including a postnatal ward and pregnancy assessment unit.

You will need recent clinical experience, including the requisite level of competencies at Band 6 & evidence of ongoing professional development.

You should be able to demonstrate excellent communication/interpersonal skills, compassion, flexibility and willing to develop new skills.

This is a great opportunity to work in a flexible way with one of the country's top performing trusts, twice rated 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission.

Northumbria Healthcare covers a large geographical area, providing safe and high-quality care in both hospital and community settings.

As such we need to be able to respond quickly to meet demands caused by an increase in patient activity, staff holidays or illness.

This is where our staff bank plays a vital role, providing service support 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

The bank is not just for doctors and nurses, we cater for all staff groups including AHPS, nursing support roles, administrative staff, facilities staff and more.

There are many reasons why people join the staff bank, some to supplement earnings, or to work around commitments such as childcare or studying, while others may wish to develop their skills and work experience.

So, if having the flexibility to pick and choose your hours is important, then this may be your opportunity.

To assume responsibility for the devolved management of a ward/unit/caseload including the assessment of care needs, the implementation of evidence based programme of care in the absence of the Band 7 Midwife.

To supervise, support and educate junior members of the team.

To exercise accountability as set out in the NMC Midwives Rules and Standards.

To be responsible for all midwifery care standards and to maintain high clinical standards.

To participate in on-call hospital/community rota.

To role model compassionate and inclusive leadership in order to shape the creation of a collective leadership culture within the trust.

This means demonstrating a consistent leadership style which (a) engages, enables and empowers others (b) uses coaching to promote ownership of learning and quality improvement and (c) facilitates team working and collaboration within teams / departments and across organisational boundaries.
