Lead Maternity Carers (LMCs)

Want to be able to be the amazing LMC midwife you are without all the other background stuff that gets in the way. Then read on, as this is what working at Aoraki Midwives lets you do.

This exciting and unique opportunity lets you work as a LMC with the benefits and security of being a salaried employee (competitive salary, including paid annual, sick and professional development leave and Kiwi Saver contributions)

Working for Aoraki Midwives, means you have no setup costs, no business overheads or deductions, no GST or tax payments to plan for, no worrying about cover when you want to have leave and, importantly, a guaranteed fortnightly pay. We provide all your work-related equipment including laptop, iPad, phone etc, and shared work vehicles for visiting women.

You have two self-rostered days off each week and - off - means - phones off - (you cover each other when on days off or on leave). Knowing exactly when you are going to have time off will help you enjoy a healthy work-life balance in our friendly and welcoming community.

You will have a capped caseload of 45 women per annum (4-5 women each per month) if full time and pro-rated if less than full time.

Still reading; lastly but very importantly you will be part of team of passionate and committed midwives who take pride in making a difference and supporting each other.

Okay if this sounds like your dream job and you can say - yes - to the following, then we really want to talk with you now.
