The post holder will work in partnership with the Women's and Children's Directorate management team.

The post is part time.
The post holder will be on the rota for the Joint Agency Response following a sudden, unexplained or traumatic child death, backed up by paediatricians. They will also be expected to lead reviews following a child death. The person will become part of the child death, palliative care and bereavement team with management responsibilities.
