This varied role offers internal rotation across maternity services, including day and night shifts, within a large tertiary maternity service supporting approximately 10,000 births each year. You will bring strong clinical judgement, excellent communication and a flexible, collaborative approach, while supporting colleagues and contributing to the leadership and continuous improvement of care.
