University Hospital Southampton (UHS) Maternity Services is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for newly qualified midwives who are enthusiastic and committed to providing safe and personalised care. You will work in collaboration with patients, their families and our multi-disciplinary teams, supporting choice and promoting high standards of care in line with national ambitions and our Trust Values.

We are a fast paced and progressive service with around 5000 births each year and were rated Good by the CQC in May 2023. As a regional centre for fetal and maternal medicine, we provide specialist care for women with medical needs in pregnancy and for babies requiring enhanced support in our level 3 neonatal unit.

We are proud of our supportive preceptorship programme which helps new midwives to transition with confidence from student to qualified practice. We are passionate about serving our local community and we celebrate the individuality of our staff. We value diversity and are committed to being an inclusive workplace for colleagues from Black, Asian, ethnic minority and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds. We aim to create a positive culture that supports wellbeing, job satisfaction and a healthy work life balance. Flexible working is important to us and we are committed to nurturing and developing our midwifery workforce.
