You will join a collaborative and skilled group of midwives who work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team within the Birthing Suite based at The Mercy Hospital for Women: a tertiary referral centre, with over 5000 births per year, home to one of only four neonatal intensive care units in Melbourne. This allows us to provide care for some of the highest risk pregnancies in the state.
You will provide comprehensive midwifery care for women, supporting them in their birth choices. Whether this be an unmedicated, hypnobirth in the bath, or a high-risk induction of labour. We keep women and their families at the centre of everything we do.
Flexible rostering including Morning, Afternoon & Night duty shifts, with the opportunity to upskill and work 0930-1800 triaging induction bookings and performing cervical ripening for induction of labour.

Level 2 or above RANZCOG practitioner status
Competent to perform IV cannulation, balloon catheter insertion for induction of labour, perineal suturing and waterbirth (or willing to learn these skills)

About you:

Proficient in cultivating strong professional relationships to facilitate collaborative care and effectively contribute as a member of our multidisciplinary team
