Community Midwives (Full/Part-Time & Casual) Community Midwifery, Women's Health, Te Whatu Ora at Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Counties Manukau, Auckland

The Community Midwifery Service embraces a midwife-led/woman focused model of care enabling continuity of carer during the antenatal and postnatal period. Many of the women have complex health and social needs, so a keen interest in learning the skills and knowledge to undertake joint working with a number of diverse agencies to get the best outcomes for women will be a central part of this role.

The hours of work are between Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4.30 pm with some negotiated flexibility in how you arrange your working hours. You may be required to work one day during a weekend on a rostered basis approximately once in every 5-6 weeks.

We are looking to recruit an experienced midwife who has already been working in the community for the organisation or as a self-employed midwife for 3 or more years.

Community Midwives are supported by our Specialist Diabetes and Maternal Fetal Medicine Team colleagues as well as by a Social Worker and Community Health Workers.

As the focus of community midwifery work is antenatal and postnatal care, you will have the opportunity to be supported in providing occasional intra-partum care for women from the prison in order to meet the requirement of the midwifery scope of practice.

Essential:

• NZ Registered Midwife
• Current Practicing Certificate
• Current NZ drivers licence
• A minimum of 36 months clinical midwifery experience
