Maternity Nurse
Role: Maternity Nurse
Schedule: 24/5 or 24/6 (candidate's preference)
Start Date: November 2026 (Baby due 23rd November)
Duration: 1–2 months
Location: Athens, Greece
Rate: £300–£450 per 24 hours, dependent on experience
A warm and welcoming couple based in Athens are seeking an experienced Maternity Nurse to support them following the arrival of their first baby, due on 23rd November.
Having recently relocated from the UK to Greece, the family are looking for a highly experienced and knowledgeable professional to guide them through the early weeks of parenthood. The booking will initially run until 23rd December, although the family are open to extending the role for a second month for the right candidate.
The position can be offered on either a 24/5 or 24/6 basis, depending on the successful candidate's preference. During each 24-hour period, you will be provided with a four-hour break during the day.
As first-time parents, the family are looking for someone who can provide expert newborn care whilst also offering reassurance, guidance and practical support as they adjust to life with a new baby. They would love to find a Maternity Nurse who is not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also warm, approachable and genuinely caring.
The role will involve supporting the baby's feeding and sleeping routines, assisting with the transition into parenthood, and providing ongoing support and confidence to both parents, particularly mum, during the postnatal period.
The ideal candidate will have extensive newborn experience, excellent references and a calm, positive approach. A fluent English speaker is essential. Greek language skills would be welcomed but are by no means a requirement.
This is a lovely opportunity to work with an easy-going family who are looking for a trusted professional to become a supportive presence during this exciting new chapter in their lives.
