Diabetes in Pregnancy Midwife
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Diabetes in Pregnancy Midwife provides specialist midwifery care for women with pre-existing or gestational diabetes throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. Requirements typically include current UK NMC midwifery registration, substantial clinical experience, knowledge of diabetes management in pregnancy, and evidence of continuing professional development. The role involves working with obstetricians, diabetologists, nurses, dietitians and community teams; educating patients; supporting personalised care plans; monitoring outcomes; and contributing to service improvement, audit and safeguarding. Candidates are expected to communicate sensitively, work independently while contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary team, manage a complex caseload, maintain accurate records and demonstrate commitment to inclusive, safe, evidence-based care. Experience as a specialist midwife or additional diabetes-related training would be advantageous.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
