About the Opportunity:
This is an exciting chance to come and join Liverpool’s High Risk MAPS Model of Care, covering maternity leave. The MAPS model of care provides antenatal and postnatal continuity of care to high risk women receiving care and planning birth at Liverpool Hospital – SWSLHD’s tertiary facility. This position involves working a 7 day roster, working day shifts only. Liverpool Hospital has recently appointed a brand new position – Midwifery Unit Manager for Models of Care, so this position will be aligned with the new manager and sit alongside the other models of care at Liverpool Hospital. Caring for the most high risk women during their pregnancy, the MAPS midwives will be heavily involved with the multidisciplinary team, ensuring that we are advocating for both the woman and her baby/s. This is a great prospect to enhance your knowledge and skills with high risk pregnancies as well as be involved in a continuity of care model.
What You'll be Doing
The midwife is a responsible and accountable professional who works in partnership with women to give the necessary support, care and advice during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwife's own responsibility and to provide care for the newborn and the infant.
Where You'll Be Working
Liverpool Hospital, founded in 1813, is the major health service for south-western Sydney, providing services to the local government area of Liverpool City Council as well as district services to residents and visitors in the area. It also provides a range of state-wide services in areas such as critical care and trauma, neonatal intensive care and brain injury rehabilitation. The Hospital provides a health service of international standing, with 23 operating theatres, capacity for 877 beds, diagnostic and imaging services, emergency and trauma care, maternity, paediatric, cancer care, mental health, ambulatory care, allied health and medical and surgical services from birth to aged care. Liverpool Hospital is currently undergoing a major redevelopment. The $790 million Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct (LHAP) project will provide enhanced facilities and an increased capacity to meet future significant population growth for South Western Sydney. Liverpool Hospital is a principal referral and teaching Hospital of the UNSW Sydney and the Western Sydney University and also welcome students from over 20 universities and colleges.
