Where there's life, there's Mercy.

About the opportunity:

  • You will join a collaborative and skilled group of midwives who work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team within the Birthing Suite based at The Mercy Hospital for Women: a tertiary referral centre, with over 5000 births per year, home to one of only four neonatal intensive care units in Melbourne. This allows us to provide care for some of the highest risk pregnancies in the state.
  • You will provide comprehensive midwifery care for women, supporting them in their birth choices. Whether this be an unmedicated, hypnobirth in the bath, or a high-risk induction of labour. We keep women and their families at the centre of everything we do.
  • Flexible rostering including Morning, Afternoon & Night duty shifts, with the opportunity to upskill and work 0930-1800 triaging induction bookings and performing cervical ripening for induction of labour.
  • We support our midwives to work to their full scope of practice and provide training on insertion of intravenous catheters, suturing, and balloon catheters for induction of labour.
  • Opportunity to join one of our many working groups to promote positive change – including improving our environmental impact.
  • Our team fosters a supportive and compassionate environment to help you excel and grow in your midwifery career.
  • We have a variety of roles available: full time, part time, fixed term or permanent.
  • Salaries in line with enterprise agreement and will be based on your years of experience (hourly base rate between $34.03 and $46.86)

To thrive in this role, you will have:

  • Previous Birthing Suite experience
  • Level 2 or above RANZCOG practitioner status
  • Competent to perform IV cannulation, balloon catheter insertion for induction of labour, perineal suturing and waterbirth (or willing to learn these skills)
  • Knowledge of managing high risk, complicated pregnancies and birth, but also possess the skills and desire to facilitate physiological birth where possible

About you:

  • Resourceful and adaptable – you will excel in a team that upholds the Mercy values of compassion, hospitality, respect, innovation, stewardship and teamwork in everything we do
  • Proficient in cultivating strong professional relationships to facilitate collaborative care and effectively contribute as a member of our multidisciplinary team
  • Approachable and compassionate, you bring a flexible and positive attitude

You will also be required to provide evidence of, or in the process of obtaining:

  • A current Police Record Check and Working with Children Check.
  • Current COVID-19 certificate, proof of current influenza vaccination and other vaccination status consistent with public health orders.
