Maternity Befriender

Are you dedicated to ensuring that women and their families have the best possible experience during their pregnancy and beyond?

Are you a highly skilled, motivated Support Worker with a passion for promoting and safe and effective care for Migrant women, in line with national recommendations?

Do you want to work with women and families who experience health inequalities? Do you have experience of working with women who speak other languages and from different cultures?

Mid Yorkshire Teaching Hospitals is looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Support Workers befriender to join our Maternity team.

Approximately 5,400 women each year choose to birth at Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. We provide antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care across the Wakefield district and North Kirklees.

At Mid Yorkshire Hospitals we are continuing to implement the National maternity Transformation Programme alongside our colleagues in the local maternity System (LMS) the Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP) and other community partners.

The Befriender/Support Worker will work with the Maternity Team to ensure that women receive high quality care and an excellent experience whilst in Maternity services.
