Maternity Nurse A short-term maternity nurse role in the Cotswolds supporting first-time parents with their newborn, offering guidance, reassurance and practical support during the early weeks.

A first-time family in Chipping Norton are seeking an experienced maternity nurse to support them following the arrival of their newborn for approximately 4–5 weeks from mid-July. The parents are looking for the kind of guidance and reassurance many first-time families value — someone who can teach, advise and support them through the early weeks while helping them understand their baby’s needs and build confidence.
