Certified Nurse Midwife - Full-time

Lebanon Valley Midwifery and Women’s Wellness and the Lebanon Valley Birth Center, an 19-year-old growing autonomous midwifery practice and accredited birth center, is seeking a full-time Certified Nurse-Midwife.

We provide full-scope midwifery care to our population, about 75% of whom are from the Plain community (Amish, Mennonite, others) and a diverse group of additional families. Nearly all are committed to physiologic out-of-hospital birth and to a model of self-determination and shared decision making in their health care. Nearly 100% breastfeed. We have a low cesarean rate. You will also have the opportunity to care for some unique health conditions.

We attended about 160 births in 2023. About 10% were homebirths with the rest in our licensed CABC (Commission on Accreditation of Birth Centers) accredited birth center or our collaborative hospital (where we have privileges providing continuity of care), which is part of WellSpan Health. We offer water birth, nitrous, and a have a special service to those who wish to have a VBAC.

We collaborate with many providers in our region beginning with our Medical Director and OB/CNM practice. We are included in various WellSpan meetings. A local MFM service performs ultrasounds at our office. The world-renowned Clinic for Special Children provides consultation and comprehensive care to our children and adults with genetic and other complex medical conditions.

About the Opportunity

· We are seeking a knowledgeable, energetic, warm, self-motivated CNM who will work well with our families and the team, will function autonomously, and who has excellent verbal and written communication skills and attention to detail. We desire a CNM who is committed to physiologic birth.

· Full-time position (two 24-hour shifts or four 12-hour shifts per 7-day week, or a mix)

· High-call, low-volume practice allows CNM to take call from home

· Full scope midwifery and newborn care

· Will consider new graduates, but a strong preference will be given to CNM’s with experience.

· You will join four other (full and part-time) CNMs who work in the office and take call, as well as our nurses, lactation consultant, and administration team. There is also the possibility of being part of our management team.

· Competitive salary benefits package including health benefits plan, professional liability, worker’s compensation, retirement matching, continuing education, personal time off, mileage reimbursement, and relocation assistance.

Lifestyle/Community

· Life-work balance may be best obtained if you live within about 20-30 minutes of the birth center, thereby taking call from your home and the local area. However, a call room is available.

· This area includes affordable housing options in rural, town, or city settings with many school choices.

· We serve Lebanon, western Berks, northern Lancaster, and southern Schuylkill counties. We are close to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Lebanon, and Reading (and two-three hours from Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore, Washington, D.C.).
