Job summary
The Oak Team are looking for a new team member to complete our existing team. We have had a successful team for over 2 years and have supported 5% of all births at home! Our team primarily provides care for families who wish to birth at home, but we also provide intrapartum care on the Midwife Led Unit and Labour Ward if the care plan or birth preferences for women changes.
We are a proactive, passionate, and enthusiastic team who strive to provide an excellent standard of care to women and their families throughout their care. Could you complement our successes? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
As friendly, cohesive, and welcoming team, you'll be fully supported when you join the team.
Our model is a team approach to care and working hours are rostered day/ night shifts with no on calls, currently . We cover a wide area including both rural and town settings. Oak Team midwives have an allocated caseload of women and are the lead providers for their care antenatally and postnatally. Intrapartum care is a team approach led by the most available member of the team (whilst prioritising continuity where we can).
