If you’re the kind of Midwife who values slower-paced living, strong community connections, and making a real difference where it counts — Kingaroy might be the place you’ve been searching for. As a Clinical Midwife here, you'll step into a leadership role that’s not about hierarchy, but about heart: supporting your colleagues with expertise, empathy and initiative. This is a role for someone who wants to be known, trusted, and appreciated—not just by the women and families you care for, but by the team you guide.

Job details

What your day will look like….

You'll move seamlessly between coaching midwifery staff and advocating for women through their birth journeys — balancing clinical precision with compassion and calm. When complexity arises, your seasoned judgment helps steer the team with clarity, drawing on your depth of experience and collaborative instinct. Your day will include meaningful conversation, supportive mentoring, and involvement in quality improvement initiatives that elevate practice without the bureaucracy. Every task, whether clinical, educational or managerial, is grounded in community care and cultural respect. And at the end of the shift, you'll know your work mattered — not just to the system, but to someone's life.

Let's talk about you!

Our ideal candidate will be someone who can inspire the following:

• Compassion – you will engage with others and demonstrate empathy, care, kindness, support and understanding.
• Integrity – you are open, honest, approachable, equitable and consistent in everything we do.
• Dignity – you treat others with respect, display reasonableness and take pride in what you do.
• Innovation – you embrace change and strive to know more, learn more and do better.
• Courage – you respectfully question for clarity and have the strength and confidence to Speak Up.
