Overview
NHS Highland is geographically the largest of the 14 regional boards of NHS Scotland, covering an area of 12,500 square miles across Highland and Argyll & Bute. As a board we strive to nurture a positive culture, delivered through our NHS and Social Care values: care and compassion, dignity and respect, openness, honesty and responsibility, and quality and teamwork.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, enthusiastic and motivated NMC Registered Midwife to join the Badenoch & Strathspey Community Midwives. We are a small community team based in Aviemore within the Cairngorm National Park, covering the Badenoch & Strathspey area including Kingussie and Grantown on Spey. The team provides caseload care for approximately 115 women per year. The post includes running satellite clinics and providing care within the home setting. There may be occasions when the post holder may work with other teams in Inner Moray Firth. The on‑call commitment is required for the Home Birth/Domino service within the Inner Moray Firth community midwifery teams. A full/current driving licence and use of own car are essential for this post.
Aviemore is a main outdoor destination in Scotland with access to mountains, rivers, forests, and skiing. It is a great base for families with schools and sporting facilities throughout the valley.
