Our dedicated team are looking for motivated Maternity Support Workers who are either currently working at band 3 level or aspires to undertake the necessary training to enhance existing skills.

We have vacancy both within our core and community teams.

We believe that ongoing training, support, and a positive and friendly culture is vital for our teams and will allow them to be able to provide the best possible care for pregnant and newly delivered women and their families.

The Band 3 Maternity Support Worker (MSW) provides direct delivery of clinical care to all women and babies accessing maternity services and may be based within specialist and integrated teams such as in theatre and community hubs.

You will report to registered practitioners where planned, delegated care has been provided.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome.
