Right now, we - re looking for a Midwife for our maternity service that
provides primary and secondary care to women
in South Canterbury. This is hands-on midwifery work; we see around 600 births
a year, ranging from normal and low-risk to complex and high-needs.
You - ll provide ward-based
antenatal and postnatal care, and attend births. There - s also a certain amount
of administration work, with admissions, discharges, and patient notes, and you
might sometimes need to accompany patients to larger tertiary hospitals.
Welcome to a better career. In our smaller unit, you - re a midwife, a
support person, and an advocate for the women and babies in your care. You - ll
understand the emotional highs and lows that come with this transformative time
of their lives, and be able to develop a relationship where they trust and
connect with you. This is a role for a midwife with high professional
standards, who wants to provide a service you - re proud of.
You - ll be well-supported by the
rest of the staff. Our teams are self-led, which means that changes are made by
people on the floor, not in offices. We - re a collaborative team that works
closely to make sure our patients get the best outcomes, and that our work
environment is the best you could wish for.
As part of our 24/7 roster you
can expect to work some nights, where there are other responsibilities, such as
cleaning delivery suites. The core team at night also doesn - t include an
obstetrician, so you - ll need to quickly be able to read a situation and make a
fast decision about whether calling one in is indicated.

the heart of everything we do. We are a proudly diverse team, as we know a
diverse and inclusive workforce achieves the best outcomes for our patients and
communities. If you share in these core values and bring them into every aspect
of your patient care, we can - t wait for you to join us.
