What paperwork do I need to complete?


If you are employed by NES you will follow the NES Maternity Policy regardless of where you are on placement. The NES HR Trainee Services team will be responsible for processing your maternity paperwork and will be your first point of contact for any maternity leave queries. They can be contacted at by going to https://nesdigital.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/30 and raising a support ticket. 

You should complete a maternity risk assessment as soon as possible in relation to your health and safety during your pregnancy.

General Practice:

Hospital Placements: Risk assessments should be requested from the department you are currently working in on placement.

You should read through the Maternity Policy and submit Appendix C and Appendix D to https://nesdigital.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/30. Appendix C is the initial notification of pregnancy and Appendix D should be completed when you receive your MATB1 certificate informing your Placement Board and NES of your planned leave.  Please ensure that you complete your personal details on the MATB1 certificate.

Please note that you will be entitled to paid time off to attend antenatal appointments.  Should your appointment take you away from your workplace for a half day or more, please complete a Special Leave form and send to your Placement Board HR department.
