I have an opportunity for an apprentice in a job share -- about 5-15 births per year (possibly more, but couldn't guarantee it -- the lower number would only be if you wanted to work so part-time -- probably the work would be around 10-15.). You would be responsible for the western and southern chunk of my territory -- some Washtenaw Co, Lenawee Co., Lansing area, Jackson area, northern Ohio, and any backup we do in Eaton Co. There is also the possibility of taking on some births to the east of Ann Arbor in job share with my existing apprentice, either on a call schedule or another arrangement. Regardless, there will be lots and lots of driving. Right now we are doing all of our visits as home visits.
I have a fun practice. We serve a very diverse population; I run a small midwifery school; I run a fertility practice, and I work in collaboration with a few other midwives, so there is the opportunity to back them up and assist them too occasionally and learn different styles. I am open to students who are planning future maternity leaves. I like to think that I make an effort to be a good teacher. I wrote a very scary job description which also describes the process for applying -- I wanted to make sure that whomever came to work for me understood how demanding being an apprentice really is. I am probably not as difficult as the job description makes me out to be, though who knows?
PM me if you would like to get a copy of the application. I think I need to send it via email, so include your email address.
If anyone out of area wants to see my job description just to see what crazy things a midwife might ask of you, I'm happy to send it along.
Thanks!
