A maternity nurse role in West London supporting first-time parents with newborn care, routine and confidence-building, including regular weekend travel.

Job Summary
A first-time family based in W11 are seeking an experienced Maternity Nurse to support them with the arrival of their baby. Mum is hoping to breastfeed and would value guidance and support as she finds her rhythm. Establishing a clear and consistent routine will be an important part of the role, as this will help create structure and confidence in the early weeks.
