We are a passionate midwifery service that recognises the important role we play in supporting women and birthing people achieve their optimal birth experience and improving outcomes.

Within this role you will manage a team of passionate midwives and appreciate the demands of the wider maternity service. You will demonstrate a high level of communication and organisational skills and be a key stakeholder for the development and management of individuals within the team. You will ensure high standards of midwifery and obstetric led care are provided at all times, to maintain the safety of women, birthing people and their families.
As the Labour Ward Co-ordinator you will be faced with a maternity environment that is both unpredictable and challenging. There will be competing demands for attention, and you will be expected to exercise excellent judgement in dealing with both with clinical and interpersonal challenges.

To be a professional role model for others, demonstrating competent and accountable clinical practice, forming good relationships with women and their families, and presenting a positive image at all times.
To share the vision of the maternity service Band 7 Team, to support patient safety and positive working relationships across all areas.
To challenge poor practice, with appropriate channels of support, and ultimately to instigate any necessary competency/disciplinary procedures with the Matron.
Provide professional midwifery leadership and expert advice to midwives and all other health professionals acting in a manner which promotes midwifery in a positive light.
Ensure effective, safe and responsive day to day management of the labour ward, supervising and managing all staff to maintain high standards of care.
