About This Role

This is a hands-on clinical leadership role at a private general hospital in Addis Ababa that is actively pursuing international safety certification. As Senior Midwife, you will be expected to manage complex deliveries independently while also serving as the go-to clinical resource for less experienced colleagues. The position suits a midwife who is comfortable working without daily supervision and is motivated by improving a hospital’s clinical standards and reputation.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The requirement for 3–5 years of experience signals that Kadisco is seeking someone who has already built confidence in handling routine and emergency deliveries, rather than someone still building foundational skills. The emphasis on SafeCare/ISO compliance means the ideal candidate is not just clinically strong but also detail-oriented about documentation and protocol adherence. This suggests the hospital values reliability and a methodical approach to patient safety as much as technical skill.

How to Approach This Application

In your cover letter and interview, focus on specific examples of high-risk cases you have managed independently, and mention any experience you have with clinical audits or quality improvement processes. The employer will prioritize candidates who can demonstrate that they follow protocols without needing reminders, so highlight your record-keeping habits and any familiarity with international safety standards. Be prepared to discuss how you have coached junior staff during difficult deliveries without taking on a formal supervisory title.
