What I'm looking for

I seek midwifery roles where I can deliver evidence‑based maternity and neonatal care, work within supportive multidisciplinary teams, continue professional development, and positively impact outcomes for mothers and babies.

I am an NMC‑qualified midwife (BSc 2021) with experience across antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal and community settings, delivering person‑centred care in high‑pressure NHS environments. I have provided CTG monitoring, supported physiological births including water births, assisted with induction and augmentation, and am qualified in neonatal resuscitation.

I work effectively within multidisciplinary teams and independently, maintaining up‑to‑date practice with national policies and guidelines. I am organised, calm under pressure, skilled in interpersonal communication, and committed to improving outcomes for mothers, babies and families through evidence‑based care and continuous professional development.
