WHAT ARE WE OFFERING?

Join the Midwifery Directorate in a pivotal administrative coordination role providing direct support to the Midwifery Director and leadership team. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside senior midwifery leaders, contributing to workforce initiatives, service development, governance activities and the delivery of high-quality maternity services across the Network.

This is not a traditional administration role. The Administrative Coordinator serves as the primary support to the Midwifery Director, working in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities, complex stakeholder relationships and time-critical activities. Success in this role requires sound judgement, exceptional organisational skills, discretion, adaptability and the initiative to anticipate needs and progress work with minimal supervision.

No two days are the same. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to midwifery services while developing valuable skills in executive support, workforce coordination, recruitment, governance and health administration.

• A confident communicator who can build effective working relationships with stakeholders across all levels of an organisation.
• Someone who exercises discretion, professionalism and sound judgement when handling sensitive and confidential information.
• Motivated by variety, challenge and the opportunity to contribute to service improvement and organisational success.

If you enjoy being the person who keeps things moving, brings order to complexity, and helps senior leaders achieve their objectives, we'd love to hear from you.

HOW WILL YOU CONTRIBUTE?

• Act as the primary administrative support to the Midwifery Director, coordinating activities and ensuring priorities are progressed efficiently and professionally.
• Provide confidential, accurate and timely administrative support to the Midwifery Directorate and leadership team.
• Coordinate meetings, workshops, travel arrangements and key events, ensuring all logistics are managed effectively.
