Interview Workshop for Senior Student and New Band 5 Midwives; Get That First Job!
Over half of midwives often think about leaving their job (RCM). This breaks my heart, especially as in my career as a writer and community builder, I come across midwives who love their work all the time.
Often, thinking about leaving midwifery is just a way of thinking through the changes we must make at work.
But it’s uncomfortable keeping going in practice without taking action. Let’s think through your options outside of midwifery, the reasons why you may be thinking about leaving, and how to decide on the right path for you.
Some of What We’ll Explore in This Course
In this course, I’ve captured everything I know from student and midwives making this decision. Together we will:
Figure out what it means to you to be a midwife
What kind of roles midwives who love their role do
Identifying the fears you may have, that may be unconsciously making you want to leave, and how to check these come from a place of reality
The role of empathy in your work
The many different paths available to you as a midwife
How to address bullying in midwifery, when to move away, and how to help the system
A Jungian inspired exercise to figure out what you want to do next
