Midwife jobs with the Scottish Nursing Guild

We are looking for qualified midwives to fill midwife jobs in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We offer high pay rates, a great benefits package, and work with many healthcare organisations, both public sector and private sector.

The Scottish Nursing Guild is a nursing and midwife agency that specialises in placing midwives into shifts when no one else can. This often means we cover shifts that need last-minute midwives due to sickness or staff shortages. Our services ensure patients receive excellent care, regardless of the circumstances.

Why work with us?

In return for the dedication needed to cover the agency midwife shifts mentioned, we offer an attractive pay scale and lots of other benefits. Some of the benefits we offer include:

• Paid NMC/NMBI fees
• Reimbursed travel expenses
• Free annual flu voucher
• Flexible shifts
• 24/7 nurse-led telephone support

In a midwifery job with the Scottish Nursing Guild, you will work temporary shifts for a range of different healthcare providers. Although these shifts are often last-minute, we expect the standard of care to remain high. Therefore, you must be recently experienced. Once you’re registered with us, we offer training opportunities to enhance your skills and stay up to date with best practices.

We offer fantastic flexibility to our midwives via use of our Quick Nurse app. You can use the app to book shifts that fit your schedule. You can instantly search for midwifery shifts at the touch of a button. The app will offer you the most relevant shifts available at the time. This enables you to work with us full-time or part-time around a substantive post.

What does a midwife do?

In a midwife job, you are an expert in childbirth. Your role covers providing care and support to women and their families during pregnancy, labour and after the baby has been born. Responsibilities may include:

• Delivering babies
• Providing parenting classes
• Identifying high-risk pregnancies
• Teaching new mothers how to care for their babies

Depending on whether you are working in a hospital or community setting, your role may slightly differ. Good communication skills are important as a midwife as some women and families you care for could have different circumstances, for example they could be homeless, have disabilities or be from unique cultural backgrounds.
