Join Our Team in 2024
At Wombkeepers Scottsdale
We are seeking a team of midwives to be on call for our birthing center, performing triage, labor support and management, serving primarily in the birth assistant role, in collaboration with patient's primary midwife or physician provider. Midwife will perform all patient intake and exams, vital signs and fetal monitoring, newborn exam, inpatient postpartum care, and 24 hour postpartum visits. Midwife will also provide primary provider coverage within the birth center as needed, performing deliveries for primary provider patients during PTO/vacation or hospital patient conflict. This is a call-from-home role, with 4 hours of outpatient office weekly, mainly seeing birth center patients in their third trimester. Provider will be on call 3-5 times per week, inclusive of no more than 2 weekends per month, and may expect to work up to 80 clinical hours per month, with bonusing for more clinical hours. Part-time option also available.

Ideal candidate is enthusiastic about holistic maternal health care and natural birth, with experience in Labor and Delivery, NICU, PICU, or Well-Baby Nursing. BLS or ACLS and NRP required, as well as attendance at birth center safety drills and orientation.

Reimbursement is per hour and competitive. Work environment is friendly and low stress, with a high value placed on our amazing birth teams.
Seeking a physician or nurse practitioner to provide newborn exams and consultation services at our birthing center prior to discharge. Structure and reimbursement flexible according to physician or nurse practitioner needs.

We are currently seeking an OB/GYN to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to join a new and growing practice with an integrative, wellness focus for both our patients and our employees. Ideal applicant is interested in and supportive of a low intervention model of obstetrics care and shared decision making with patients and comfortable caring for patients desiring unmedicated birth, VBAC, and vaginal twin deliveries. Practice values work life balance and offers substantial flexibility in terms of hours and patient load, with two months paid vacation per year and competitive compensation, with productivity sharing. Newly graduating residents or experienced physicians welcome to apply.
We are currently seeking two Associate Doulas to work with our doula team. Doulas in our team participate in a call schedule and provide doula support for our patients both in the hospital and birthing center who labor on their call days. Patients are not individually assigned to individual doulas, but doulas provide support in a team fashion. Doulas typically cover 2-3 calls per week and are required to attend a monthly "meet your labor support" night to become acquainted with our patients in order to participate in the program. Doulas can expect to provide labor support for 2-4 patients per month, depending on patient volume and number of calls taken per month.
For private doulas who have a client who seeks care at Wombkeepers, we offer single episode of care contracts with private doulas for individual patients. Private doulas who anticipate having Wombkeepers patients may inquire about submitting credentials to us and establishing a standing rate to expedite future private contracts.
