The main duties of the post are to work in geographical Community Maternity teams, providing antenatal and postnatal care to new families. This includes working from GP surgeries, community centres and community hospitals, running antenatal and postnatal clinics, as well as visiting new families, in their own homes.
You will build relationships with your caseload and support safe childbearing outcomes, informed choice and personalised care plans.

Leicester maternity services provide safe, high quality care and encourage innovation and development from all staff. We pride ourselves on staff engagement and actively encourage a safe working environment where staff feel safe to speak up and raise concerns.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We Have Four Primary Goals
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
