Our community needs you!
Opportunities have arisen for experienced midwives to join our team of Diabetes Community Midwives. The team provides continuity of antenatal and postnatal care, in clinics and the home within the South Auckland region.
This role will be working alongside women who have pre-existing Types 1 or 2 diabetes and those who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. The focus will be on providing a high standard of individualised diabetes care, with some scope for also providing direct antenatal and postnatal midwifery care for women with complex care needs who do not have their own midwife.
