Job overview

We are seeking an organised, proactive, and compassionate Care Coordinator to support the smooth running of our Maternity Community and Outpatient services. This role is central to ensuring high‑quality, patient‑centred care by coordinating midwifery clinics, managing administrative processes, and acting as a key point of contact for women, families, and the wider multidisciplinary team.
