Job Overview

Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
Main duties of the job
An amazing fixed term opportunity has arisen for an experienced and highly motivated Band 6 Midwife, with a commitment to promoting excellence in education, to join the Maternity Practice Education Team.
The Maternity Practice Education Team provides a wide array of training opportunities designed to support staff in developing and maintaining their skills. The team is responsible for the training of over 300 colleagues locally and also participates in regional training initiatives. This role presents an outstanding opportunity to develop your leadership skills and engage in ongoing professional development.
Working for our organisation
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team.

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
