Main duties of the job
The post holder will work in partnership with the multi-disciplinary team in both the hospital and community settings, providing continuity of carer according to the local models of care. This includes partnership working with general practitioners, obstetricians, midwives, health visitors and all other agencies involved.

About us
You will complete the National Preceptorship Framework programme which will be a minimum of 12 months.
The package will be undertaken with local support and as part of your professional development and transition to Band 6, or where automatic transition is not Trust policy, it will equip you with the skills and experience required to confidently apply for Band 6 roles.
During the preceptorship period you will have the opportunity to provide care across the perinatal pathway in a variety of settings. It will help you to identify your strengths and highlight the areas requiring further development for the benefit of the women you care for. This in turn will enable you to become a confident and competent midwife, practising in accordance with the NMC Code (2018) and give you the opportunity to prepare for your first NMC Revalidation in 3 years' time.
Within each Trust the Preceptorship Lead Midwife will provide you with ongoing support with any additional training needs throughout the programme. The LMNS anticipates that it will take a minimum of 12 months (whole time equivalent) for the post holder to progress to a Band 6 midwife position.
