Would you like to work in a Trust where you can make a real difference to the women and families in your care? Do you have a passion for ensuring that women have the best birth experience possible? Are you interested in risk and Governance?
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Midwife to join our friendly, credible and dynamic maternity team.
We are looking for an innovative midwife who can demonstrate a wide range of midwifery expertise and experience to work as part of our governance team as risk & incident lead midwife.
The post holder will support the review of incidents, MNSI data and other maternity incidents in conjunction with the wider maternity team.
This post supports the quality and governance agenda within Maternity and is key to ensuring that nursing, midwifery and medical practice is safe, evidence‑based and current, advising on changes nationally to practice and supporting the implementation of such guidance into practice. The post holder will be responsible for the oversight and monitoring of incidents and presentation of key performance indicators, including the monitoring and review of action plans and recommendations from After Action Reviews and PSII.
The postholder will also participate in the maternity manager on call rota and work clinically as part of the escalation pathway.
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is an integrated Trust and the only provider of NHS acute care in Walsall, serving a population of 286,700, and provides inpatient and outpatient services at the Manor Hospital as well as a wide range of services in the community. Walsall Manor houses the full range of district general hospital services under one roof. The £170 million development was completed in 2010 and the continued upgrading of existing areas ensures the Trust now has a state‑of‑the‑art Critical Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, Obstetric Theatre, and Integrated Assessment Unit facilities.
We would particularly welcome applications from people from a BME background and people with a disability as these groups are currently under‑represented at senior level. We value diversity within our Trust and are working to achieve equality in our recruitment.
We support flexible working for all employees and prospective applicants.
Any settled workers meeting the requirements must be offered the position in preference to any non‑resident candidates meeting the requirements, unless the role falls under a PhD‑level code, in which case sponsorship may be attained.
Please see attached JD.
