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.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
