First-time international parents are seeking full-time support with their newborn. The family are looking for an experienced Maternity Practitioner who can confidently guide and support them through the early weeks of parenthood. The ideal candidate will be up to date with current NHS guidelines and safe sleep practices.
The family are eager to learn as much as possible and would value a practitioner who can offer guidance across all aspects of newborn care, including routines, feeding support, developmental milestones, and age-appropriate toys and activities. They would like a maternity practitioner who involves the parents as much as possible, providing a daily log and ensuring they feel informed and included in all decisions regarding their baby’s care.
The successful candidate will be knowledgeable, empathetic, and confident working on a sole-charge basis when Mum begins returning to work, while also being a collaborative and supportive team player.
Mum is currently undecided on how she would like to feed the baby and would appreciate unbiased, supportive guidance with whichever feeding choice she makes.
Please note, the family may move before the baby is born; however, they will remain within the East London area.
Please note Maternity Nurse and Newborn Care titles are industry terms, not protected medical titles.
