A warm and welcoming family are looking forward to welcoming their third baby in mid-June. Their current maternity practitioner, who has supported them previously, will be assisting for the first four weeks after the birth. The family are now seeking an experienced maternity practitioner to take over from mid-July through to the end of September.
This is a lovely opportunity to support confident parents who value professional guidance and a calm, nurturing approach. They are looking for a knowledgeable, empathetic candidate who can seamlessly step into the role and provide reassurance, practical support, and expert advice during the newborn period. The successful candidate will be up to date with current NHS guidance and confident in helping the family establish healthy routines that work for everyone.
The family’s older children are incredibly excited about the new arrival and are keen to be involved where appropriate, particularly with activities such as bath time. The ideal candidate will be supportive of sibling involvement while ensuring the baby’s needs remain the priority. There is a daily nanny for the older children.
The mother intends to breastfeed initially and anticipates introducing bottle feeding after approximately six weeks. The family would welcome support and guidance throughout this transition and in establishing a gentle routine for their newborn.
During the placement, the family will spend four weeks at their beautiful home in Oxfordshire, and they would love the maternity nurse to accompany them. The property features a swimming pool, and a car will be available for use during time off. All travel expenses will be covered.
This is a fantastic role for an experienced professional seeking a supportive family and a varied, enjoyable placement.
