An exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic and motivated midwives to become part of the Inner Moray Firth Community Midwifery Team. This team is based in the Midwives hub at Clava Unit New Craig’s site in scenic Inverness. On occasions the post may also include working with colleagues within the other teams in Inner Moray Firth. The successful candidates will be flexible in their approach, be good team players and have excellent time management skills. Community experience is desirable but not essential and is suitable for Band 5 or 6 to apply. There are plans in place to develop the community midwife hub incorporating a day assessment unit where Midwives will have the opportunity to be part of this new venture and work in a supportive dynamic team.
Inverness is a great location if you enjoy both outdoor pursuits and culture & is located a short distance from the Airport where flights run regularly to London, Birmingham, Bristol and Ireland. We are also in the perfect place to access the beautiful Cairngorms National Park, tour around the North Coast 500 and visit some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches whilst doing an island hop to some of the neighbouring islands.
Full and part-time hours will be considered in order to provide a 7 day service. Posts are permanent or fixed term until October 2025.
There is an on call commitment required for the provision of a Home Birth/Domino service within the Inner Moray Firth community midwifery teams.
A full / current driving licence and use of own car with business insurance is essential for this post.
Applicants must be fully NMC registered to apply.
A relocation package may be available.
