Wallingford Midwifery Led Unit
Wallingford Midwifery Led Unit is part of the Wallingford community hospital. It has a wonderful, homely atmosphere with a birthing pool room for women choosing to birth in the community. There is a small yet dedicated team of midwives and support workers who provide care for birthing people and their families in the surrounding area. Wallingford is a lovely town in South Oxfordshire, ideal for families and ongoing transport links to London and the South coast.
Across Oxfordshire, we have four freestanding birth centres—located in Banbury, Chipping Norton, Wantage, and Wallingford—alongside a homebirth service. Our community birth rate is above the current national average at 5%.
About the Role
As a member of the Wallingford team, you will join the community on-call rota to support the community birth service, this is a requirement of the role: our high birth rate offers frequent opportunities to attend community births. We also enable staff to take shifts on the main delivery suite if they wish to maintain or broaden their skills and knowledge.
