About the Opportunity

As a valuable member of our multidisciplinary team, you will work alongside a Registered Midwife to provide culturally safe and supportive care to women and families, many of whom may be vulnerable.

By fostering trust, strengthening connections, and supporting efforts to Close the Gap in health outcomes, your contribution will have a lasting impact on the community.

Your role will involve advocating for families, making referrals to NGOs and health support services, and promoting health education through storytelling and visual aids. An understanding of the social determinants of health and a commitment to supporting women and families in culturally safe ways are essential.
