I am a newly qualified Postnatal Maternity Nurse Level 4 accredited by OCN. I have a fully enhanced DBS on the update service, A Paediatric First Aid Certificate and Public Liability Insurance.
I want to gain experience as a Maternity Nurse to build my portfolio and I will do that unpaid to get references.
I’ve worked as a nanny with children/toddlers and babies for the last six years. However I want to build my portfolio with more practical experience working with expectant parents and new borns under 8 weeks old.
Whether parents just need an extra pair of hands with new born or a full on role for a few hours during the day, or overnight stay I’ll provide the support needed unpaid for a reference.
I live in central London Notting Hill area. All work experience roles will be live out and I’m willing to travel to other parts of London.
I’ve joined a local mother and baby group as a volunteer supporting new and expectant mothers with breastfeeding guidance. This will be a great way to network.
I’m already registered with a well known agency that specialises in nanny/maternity nurse roles but I want to get more new born practical experience to build on my knowledge and continue learning and developing expertise. Parents paying for maternity nurse through an agency also want more experience and relevant references.
Facebook groups are a great idea but saturated.
childcare.co.uk requires references as well if advertising as a maternity nurse which I don’t have as yet.
I’m just wondering if anyone has any suggestions I could consider?.
