Nights Only Maternity Practitioner needed immediately in Hertfordshire

A lovely first-time family based in Hertfordshire are seeking an experienced Nights only Maternity Nurse to support them with their 3-week-old baby
Their baby is currently bottle-fed and prefers to be held for much of the night. The family would value support from an experienced maternity practitioner who is confident in following and implementing current NHS and Lullaby Trust safe sleep guidelines, while gently encouraging healthy sleep foundations in a responsive and age-appropriate manner. They are keen to receive practical advice and reassurance from someone knowledgeable and supportive, who can balance professional expertise with respect for their parenting choices and individual approach.
With Mum’s initial recovery period drawing to a close and family support reducing, the parents are keen to welcome an experienced maternity practitioner who can offer gentle guidance, reassurance, and expert overnight support.
The role involves providing overnight care, supporting feeds and settling, managing nursery duties related to the baby, and helping the family work towards calmer, more restful nights. The mother is Romanian and would appreciate a candidate who speaks Romanian.
