As Midwife, There are endless opportunities in your career
Midwives offer advice, care and support for women and their babies during pregnancy and labour. A midwife’s role is very important as they are responsible for the mother and the baby up until birth.
There is a shortage of midwives in the UK. This means that you will easily be placed in a job with loads of job security. There are many perks to being a midwife:
1. Helping others, As a midwife, you are responsible for the care of mothers and their unborn babies up until the mother gives birth this means you are taking care of the mothers emotionally, mentally and also physically which is a significant role. Many Midwives feel admired as they get to help many different mothers on a day-to-day basis and are highly respected due to their role.
2. High in demand, midwives will always be high in demand in the UK which means if you were to ever leave your job in one hospital you won’t have a hard time finding another one due to the role being so high in demand. The need for midwives tends to increase yearly due to the increase in babies and women choosing to have babies later on in life. The number of midwives is projected to increase by 10.96% between 2020 and 2030.
3. Various practice environments, As a midwife you will have the option of many environments to practice in.
