First‑time parents are expecting their baby early to mid‑June and need an experienced and compassionate maternity practitioner to provide full‑time support, five days a week, following the birth. The role requires flexibility, knowledge, and confidence in supporting a mother during the post‑natal period, including guidance throughout her breastfeeding journey and advising on safe sleep practices, gentle routines, feeding techniques, and post‑natal recovery.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a warm and professional candidate passionate about helping first‑time parents begin their parenting journey with confidence.
