Do you thrive in a team environment where your expertise truly shapes the care women receive? Join Central Coast Local Health District (CCLHD) and help deliver exceptional, woman-centred care in our Maternity Ward at Gosford Hospital.
Some of the roles are maternity relief positions and should the permanent incumbent require an early return from maternity leave, this contract of employment will cease with two weeks notice. Maternity relief positions can be for a period of up to 12 months, with the possibility of continued employment for up to a further 12 months for maternity leave reduced hours, therefore there are no claims to permanency.
We are currently recruiting for multiple positions across a variety of employment types, including full-time and part-time, permanent and temporary roles.
As a Registered Midwife in our busy, vibrant Maternity Ward, you will be at the heart of a compassionate team delivering exceptional care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. Your expertise will be valued, your skills challenged, and your passion for woman-centred care celebrated.
Join us and experience a workplace that combines clinical practice with genuine warmth and support, where you can grow professionally, make meaningful connections, and truly make a difference in the lives of women and their newborns on the Central Coast.
About the Role
As a Registered Midwife in the Maternity Ward at Gosford Hospital, you will provide comprehensive, safe, and compassionate care to women and their families during labour, birth, and the postnatal period. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will deliver evidence-based, woman-centred care that respects the unique needs and cultural values of each individual.
This role offers the opportunity to respond effectively to complex clinical situations and emergencies, ensuring optimal outcomes for both mother and baby. You will play an integral part in mentoring and supporting junior staff and students, contributing to continuous quality improvement, and maintaining accurate clinical documentation.
