Freelance Midwife at the Zollikerberg Birth Centre

About the job

Welcome to your new workplace

We are looking for reinforcement for the Zollikerberg Birth Centre!

Freelance midwife at the Zollikerberg Birth Centre

Do you enjoy independent midwifery work and want to promote natural childbirth?

At the Zollikerberg Birth Centre, freelance midwives support women and their families holistically and independently during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period in an out-of-hospital setting.

What does your working day with us look like?

As a freelance midwife, you accompany expectant parents during pregnancy, childbirth at the birth centre, and the postpartum period. In the small midwifery team, you shape the working model individually with your colleagues. You independently manage the birth process of your clients at the birth centre. A second midwife from the team always comes to support the birth. In the first two days postpartum, the family is cared for at the birth centre and, if possible, you continue to support the families at home.

What can you expect from us?

In the family-like midwifery team, we support each other and can learn from one another. Depending on the working model, you can benefit from on-call free times and determine your own workload. Thanks to generous birth fees, attractive salary conditions have been created. You have the opportunity to offer your own courses or therapies at the Zollikerberg Birth Centre.

Internal quality circles: We regularly conduct internal quality circles, which are carried out according to the "Characteristics of Quality Circles" and the "Forum for Quality Circles" of the Swiss Midwives Association (SHV). Usually, 2 labelled E-log points can be earned per quality circle. Furthermore, regular training sessions take place.

What do you bring with you?

You are a qualified midwife or hold a BSc in Midwifery

You have at least two years of professional experience in obstetrics, ideally in an out-of-hospital setting

You have a ZSR number or have the possibility to obtain one

You enjoy working in a team and take pleasure in independent midwifery work

We look forward to receiving your application via our online tool and are happy to provide you with further information.

We wish to fill this position through direct applications without the support of recruitment agencies. Thank you very much in advance for your understanding.
