We are looking for a dynamic, motivated and forward thinking midwife to provide effective leadership as community team leader for Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Paddock Wood and Hawkhusrt community.
Be a role model of excellent midwifery practice and demonstrate a commitment in supporting colleagues to provide personalised care approach to antenatal and postnatal services as well as supporting a home birth service and Crowborough birth centre, women centred care and a positive pregnancy and birth experience.
The post holder will have good communication and expert midwifery skills, committed to giving high-quality care, challenge practice and support individual focused care.
As the team lead you will co-ordinate the day to day running of the community team, which provides care for a caseload of women/birthing people including antenatal and postnatal care.
