Do you want a midwife life with time, presence and professional pride? Then come and join us in Gødstrup!

Right now we are looking for

• Midwives for 3 permanent positions from 1 January 2027 in the maternity ward, full time

With us you can look forward to

• Time for both the birth and the family
• One midwife for one giving birth—every time
• Variation in your tasks (e.g. consultations, mobile midwife, acute clinic etc., maternity ward)
• Close sparring on all shifts from both the midwifery supervisor and from your colleagues – you are never alone
• Influence on your schedule (8, 9 or 12 hour shifts, most D/A or most D/N)
• A strong collegial community with room for laughter and professional discussions

Professional and organizational profile

We have now been at the new hospital in Gødstrup since 2022, and we enjoy our new, impressive facilities in the “Family Cluster” with around 3100 births:

• Delivery ward, acute clinic and maternity ward are located closely together with a shared coffee room
• Delivery ward and OR are right next to each other
• All 8 birth suites are designed as interactive birth suites with local natural atmospheres from our 6 municipalities, and with the possibility to play the couples’ individual music
• All maternity rooms are equipped with double beds (can be separated in an acute situation)
• Midwifery consultations, family outpatient clinic and the obstetric clinic are all located on the ground floor
• Our facilities boost oxytocin both during birth and in the maternity rooms for the benefit of our families, and also for us as staff. In addition, we have an excellent view and the opportunity for a lovely 1 hour walk around Gødstrup Lake
• Strong cooperation with Children & Youth and the department for sick newborns and prematurely born
• NIDO is our new research unit, which provides a framework for a strong research environment at the hospital

It is important to us that our families experience a high quality, based on the wishes and possibilities of each couple. We believe that safety, relationships and atmosphere are important and necessary ingredients in strong pregnancy care. We have 5 known midwifery agreements because we experience that continuity and familiarity matter for the relationships. Fewer birth injuries, reduction of bleeding etc., and “More good vaginal births” are among the professional targets we focus on in a improvement perspective.

We work to strengthen the couple's belief in their own abilities. We are there for them, even when they are at home. We have a mobile team consisting of midwives/nurses who perform home visits for both first-time and multiparous births. First-time mothers choose when they want to go home after birth: directly from the delivery ward with 2 home visits by the mobile team, staying 24 hours in the maternity ward with 1 home visit, or if they need more days in the maternity ward.

We believe that it gives couples security to choose for themselves, and that we can offer visits in their own surroundings. At the same time, this enhances our ability to provide extra care to more vulnerable and complicated families.

As part of the hospital's vision to create Denmark's best learning hospital, we have an “obstetric study section” on the maternity ward for medical, nursing and midwifery students. The study section handles the postnatal care and maternity care of elective caesarean sections.

In the “Section for miscarriages and abortions,” a fixed team of midwives provides care for couples who experience loss. Supervision is a fixed part of the team, just as it is for other teams in the department. There is also an option for individual supervision for all staff when needed.

We have been named the best maternity department by Dagens Medicin for 9 years in a row. This obliges us, and we take care to continue delivering high quality and cohesive care throughout the department.

Tasks and area of responsibility

We deliberately work to be a psychologically safe workplace where everyone feels safe to share ideas, mistakes and feedback. We are focused on the whole department doing a good job and learning from each other. We have an informal tone across management levels and professional groups, and we love a good laugh on all shifts. We have plenty of good ideas that we create together and that we dare to try out.

ALL employees' ideas and contributions are needed so we can maintain our excellent birthplace – and we look forward to YOUR contribution. We love discussing professional matters and care pathways with each other across disciplines, and collegial sparring takes place on all shifts regardless of seniority.

We have clinical midwifery supervisors around the clock, and a fruitful collaboration with the department's doctors. Our strong interdisciplinary collaboration is the foundation of our department. The maternity department and the maternity ward (which employs both midwives and nurses) work closely together and help each other during busy shifts and in case of illness.

As a new midwife in our department you join a structured induction program with a mentoring arrangement, supervision and skills training, so you fit in as well as possible with both the professional and social culture.
