About the role
If you are a caring and skilled midwife who thrives on variety and likes to be out and about, we've got a great opportunity for you.
As a community midwife in the heart of the thriving rural town of Bourke you'll be building relationships, providing information and giving support to the women of the Bourke district and their babies.
As well as being actively involved in giving antenatal advice and helping parent prepare for birth, you will attend to postnatal needs for the first 10 days post-birth, mostly in the homes of the new mothers. You will help new mothers look after themselves and their baby including parenting, infant feeding, settling, sleep and other related topics as guided by the needs, expectations and aspirations of the women in your care.
In a small, close knit team you will be well supported and your dedication will be seen and appreciated. You will be an integral member of the community and you'll see not only the results of your care, but the appreciation of the community of the role you play in their health.
This truly is a role where you will broaden your scope, develop new skills and supercharge your career.
Challenge yourself. Make an impact. Shape the future. Join us at Western NSW Local Health District.
