This is a role where you will provide comprehensive postnatal care to mothers and newborns, including assessments, breastfeeding support, education, maternal and neonatal wellbeing, escalating concerns appropriately and supporting families in developing confidence with newborn care, feeding, and settling.

You will bring to the role confidence, the ability to communicate, empathy, patience and strong clinical judgement to every interaction, and you enjoy supporting parents as they navigate early parenthood.
