Achieve Something Great

Make a lasting impact in the lives of women, newborns and their families by stepping into a role where your expertise truly matters. As a Clinical Nurse Educator, you’ll help shape the future of midwifery practice by supporting clinicians to deliver safe, high‑quality, woman‑centred care across pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal journey. You’ll contribute to a respected Midwifery Group Practice team known for excellence, while developing and guiding care that aligns with professional standards and NSW Health frameworks. This is your opportunity to lead with purpose, elevate clinical capability and influence positive experiences for every woman in our care.

Are You the Right Fit?

You thrive in environments where compassion, clarity and clinical excellence go hand in hand. Your advanced midwifery skills span antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care, and you bring a natural ability to mentor, educate and support others. You communicate with empathy, listen deeply and build trust with women, families and colleagues alike. You’re confident working autonomously yet contribute meaningfully to a collaborative, multidisciplinary team. With strong attention to detail, leadership capability and the flexibility to meet caseload needs, you’re ready to guide clinicians and champion best practice across our service.
