I'm glad you posted this!! I'm about to work for my local trust as a ward clerk on maternity as I'm from a clerical background and didn't want to jump straight into a HCA role in general nursing because midwifery is REALLY what I want to do! I'm planning to try and stay in my role for a little while and then look at MCA positions and hope that by the time I am doing this, my trust will do secondments (they don't currently!!)
Good luck to you
