Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust is looking for a Band 6 community midwife to join its community midwifery team, with applications closing on 19 November 2026.

The post, advertised on NHS Jobs on 5 November 2026, offers a salary of £39,959 to £48,117 a year, pro rata, on a 12-month fixed-term contract. The role is based at Birmingham Women's Hospital on Mindelsohn Way, Birmingham.

Care closer to home

The successful applicant will provide antenatal and postnatal care to a named caseload of women in the community, building relationships with women and families throughout their maternity journey. The work includes health education, birth preparation and support with informed birth choices, while advocating for individual needs and promoting safe, personalised care.

The midwife will work with midwifery colleagues and other healthcare professionals to provide evidence-based care throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period, recognising and responding to safeguarding needs. Duties also include the safe custody and administration of drugs in line with Trust policies and statutory rules.

Shifts run from 9.00am to 5.00pm, seven days a week, and the Trust says flexible working will be considered where the needs of the service can be met. The post is offered on a full-time, part-time or flexible working basis.

Who can apply

Applicants must be a registered midwife with current UK professional registration, and the Trust asks for at least 12 months of experience after qualification as a Band 6 midwife. A full clean driving licence is also essential for the community-based role.

The advert says applicants should have strong communication skills, be able to work independently and manage a caseload, and be committed to developing their clinical practice. They will be expected to work in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council Code, Trust policies and professional standards, and to keep mandatory training up to date.

The post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check. Applications from job seekers who need Skilled Worker sponsorship are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications, the advert says.
