This role will involve working with women and birthing families across the region, maintaining high standards of care for those experiencing mental health and substance misuse issues during the pregnancy continuum.

You will need a passion for supporting women with these additional complexities, as well as being compassionate and professional.

This will involve connecting with the maternity service and other relevant services to ensure adherence to appropriate pathways and care plans, all of which are communicated for the safety and well-being of our families. Your role will encompass facilitating holistic care that enhances both mental and physical health.
