Gaining newborn experience when starting your career in essential, and a key requirement by most agencies. Our newborn maternity nurse placement schemes enables candidates to put theory into practice, helping candidates to develop skills, knowledge and confidence.

Best Maternity nurse moment?
When I returned from holiday to see the baby I am caring for smiling up at me…. magical.
The placement gave me confidence and made me realise my work really made a difference to the family’s wellbeing. Thank you Babyem!
I definitely would like to pursue maternity nursing as a full-time job – it’s challenging, but my placement with Babyem has given me a very good start!
