Job overview

We are expanding our service cover and adjusting operational hours, prompting us to recruit a number of Ward Clerks for our supportive administration and clerical maternity team at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.

If you are passionate about supporting women/birthing people and their families and eager to enhance your clerical skills, we invite you to apply. Positions are available for both full-time and part-time roles.

As the welcoming face of the unit, we seek a professional and enthusiastic individual with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Flexibility is essential due to the dynamic nature of our unit and maternity services. You will interact extensively with colleagues across professions, women, and their families, providing crucial clerical and administration support to the clinical and midwifery teams at the ward level.

While you will primarily be based at one site, occasional pan-site working may be required. If you are interested in regular pan-site work, this possibility can be discussed further during the interview process. Join us in this rewarding role where you can make a meaningful difference in our maternity care environment.
