Midwife TP – Dubai, United Arab Emirates Full-time

AHD is hiring a Midwife TP – Dubai, United Arab Emirates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This is a full-time position.

Labour and Delivery nursing demands a clinical alertness that few other specialities match Midwife — the ability to read subtle cues, anticipate complications, and pivot from routine monitoring to emergency intervention within the same shift. This role at American Hospital Dubai places you within a dedicated L&D unit where JCI accreditation standards govern every aspect of care, from amniotic fluid assessment and amniotomy assistance through to narcotic administration and family-centred birth planning. You carry full nursing process responsibility for assigned patients across each shift, working within a multidisciplinary team where communication, documentation, and clinical precision are equally non-negotiable. If your background combines midwifery or obstetric nursing experience with the discipline to work within a highly regulated, high-acuity environment, this position is built around that profile.

Key Responsibilities for Midwife TP

• Deliver age-specific, patient-centred care for assigned Labour and Delivery patients across scheduled shifts. Apply the full nursing process — assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation — to every patient.
• Perform continuous critical care assessment of patients and families, covering both physical and psychological needs. Recognise subtle clinical cues early and act before problems escalate.
• Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to develop, coordinate, and revise individual care plans. Involve patients, families, and relevant clinicians in planning decisions at every appropriate stage.
• Perform L&D-specific clinical procedures including AmniSure assessment, amniotic fluid embolism care, amniotomy assistance, placenta examination, and forceps delivery support — all per established unit competency standards.
• Administer and document narcotic, controlled, and semi-controlled drugs safely and accurately. Follow all policy and procedure requirements without exception.
• Document all patient data completely and accurately in the medical record. Meet hospital and departmental documentation standards on every shift.
• Maintain unit supplies, equipment availability, and a safe environment for both patients and staff. Report equipment issues and shortages promptly.
• Participate in Continuous Quality Improvement activities including data collection, incident reporting, medication error reporting, and CQI team involvement.
• When acting as preceptor, plan and evaluate individualized competency-based orientation for new staff. Provide timely, objective feedback to orientees and the nurse manager using established American Hospital Dubai standards.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Midwifery (minimum three-year program), or Bachelor’s degree in Nursing plus a Midwifery Certificate (minimum one year), or an Associate degree in Nursing from Canada or USA with successful national exam completion and a Midwifery Certificate.
• Minimum two years of recent post-graduate experience in a Labour and Delivery unit in a clinical setting.
• Valid licence or registration to practise in home country and/or country of last employment.
• Valid Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, current at time of appointment.
• Strong skills in patient and family assessment covering physical and psychological needs across the perinatal continuum.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate, prioritise, and revise care plans based on individual patient needs in a fast-moving clinical environment.
• Knowledge of JCI requirements including International Patient Safety Goals and mandatory education compliance areas such as fire safety and infection control.
• Completion of critical care nursing competencies and willingness to maintain ongoing mandatory educational requirements annually.

What You’ll Gain

• A specialist Labour and Delivery role within one of Dubai’s leading JCI-accredited private hospitals, where clinical standards, structured competency frameworks, and strong nursing leadership create a professional environment that keeps your obstetric practice at its sharpest.
• A defined preceptor pathway that gives experienced nurses a route into clinical education and leadership without leaving the bedside specialty they know best.
• A competitive, tax-free salary benchmarked at AED 9,000–14,000/month, with the final figure reflecting midwifery qualifications, L&D experience, and UAE licensing status.
• Access to ongoing education, unit-based CQI involvement, and a multidisciplinary clinical team that brings together obstetrics, neonatology, anaesthesia, and specialist nursing in one of the busiest private maternity units in the UAE.
