About the role:
In this role, the Pregnancy Care Connect Coordinator is the conduit between maternity services and the community within the northern sector of Hunter New England’s LHD.

If this sounds like you, look no further – your dream role awaits!

The successful applicant will be supported by the WHAM Network Coordinator and Midwifery Advisor, as well as being given a thorough orientation program. You will also work alongside your Newcastle-based equivalent who manages the southern parts of our LHD, as well as other coordinators across the state. Regular Monthly Accountability Meetings (MAM’s), 90-day action plans and roundings will allow you to feel supported as you grow within the position.
Requirements:
- Current registration as a Registered Midwife with AHPRA.
- Minimum of three (3) years full time equivalent post midwifery qualification experience.
