The Danbury Midwifery Group is searching for a midwifery partner who is interested in a part time/.5 FTE position! We operate Connecticut’s only freestanding birth center, the Connecticut Childbirth & Women’s Center and maintain privileges at Danbury Hospital. Our birth center is an established CABC accredited center, we have been open since 1997. We are privately owned and midwifery run. We are conveniently located directly across the street from Danbury Hospital, a mid-sized community facility with LDRs, in unit anesthesia, an ob/gyn resident teaching program and a Level IIb NICU.
Our full-scope care includes obstetrics as well as gynecology care, family planning and contraception, teen and adolescent care, menopausal care and so much more. We are a cohesive group of midwives who work well together to serve a diverse population . We come from many different backgrounds and welcome getting to know our new midwife partner. We share office and call and encourage each other to find ways to contribute to the practice. We are seeking a midwife partner to join us as we look forward to many more years of caring for women, their families and each other.
We provide an excellent work/life balance with shared call. Office hours are Monday through Friday. The .5 position will be responsible for one office day per week. We plan our schedule in 10 week blocks. During that 10 weeks the part time midwifery staff will each be responsible for seven 24 hour call shifts. Each midwife will have one week off during each 10 week block for a total of 5 weeks vacation/down time each year. One of the five weeks off will be allocated for continuing education and a generous stipend is allotted.
Danbury is located within commuting distance of New York City (an hour away by car or train) and within 2.5 hours of Boston. New Haven and Yale University are also within an hour’s drive. The beaches of Long Island Sound, Rhode Island and Cape Cod are close by and skiing in Vermont is also very accessible. Major airports, including LaGuardia and JFK in New York City and Bradley International in Hartford, CT, are all within driving distance.
Our new midwife partner should be someone who enjoys true midwifery care. Autonomy and the ability to work independently are important as well as the ability to work well with others. Organization and attention to detail, strong interpersonal skills and flexibility are required. As an accredited birth center, an ability and desire to maintain accreditation and contribute to the accreditation process are mandatory.
While we would prefer a seasoned midwife with at least 1-2+ years of experience, preferably both in and out of the hospital setting, we will consider a new graduate midwife who is mature and highly motivated with strong nursing experience. We will review all candidates.
