Maternity Nurses / Postnatal Care Specialists (2 Positions) – Knightsbridge

We are seeking two experienced and highly qualified Maternity Nurses / Postnatal Care Specialists to support a private family based in Knightsbridge, London.

The positions are expected to commence on 23rd November 2026, although the start date may be subject to change depending on the mother's delivery. Both positions will be for an initial period of three months.
