"Before attending the midwifery program, I worked in retail as a store manager for five years. My role included managing my team, training new hires, and training senior associates to mentor the new team members. After switching careers and becoming a midwife, I have worked as a clinical lead for one year in the health and social services department maternity services division. My job entails providing senior midwifery leadership, promoting excellence in care among all staff, and directly managing a small team of Band 6 midwives. Additionally, my role requires me to ensure all midwives are adequately trained and oversee new staff induction. My experience and knowledge will transfer nicely to this clinical lead position, and I am excited for this chance to interview for the role."
