The Midwifery Resource Centre is looking for new team members to help us run our community drop-in service to step into the drop in space working some of the days. The service is open Monday-Friday 12-2pm. We are looking for a midwife superstar that may be able to come in for training this week and ease into the role next week (covering Tuesday 8th in particular). There is some flexibility on days/hours and potential for growth in the future – we can discuss this further with you. Your role will include facilitating services for our community (pregnancy testing, navigation to midwifery care, resources, vaccination* etc) and for our midwives (providing supplies, resources, liaising about bookings), answering phone calls, texts and emails, festive list management and general daily tasks.

*Registered midwife preferred because we offer vaccinations services, however a student midwife may be considered
