Strong organisational abilities and attention to detail.

Interest in clinical governance, patient safety and quality improvement.

Ability to analyse information, identify themes and contribute to service development.

Confidence working collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams.

Compassion, professionalism and a commitment to learning and continuous improvement.

Experience of PMRT, maternity governance, audit, incident review, quality improvement, Datix, PSIRF, SEIPS methodology or patient safety work would be advantageous, but is not essential, as development and support will be provided.

Coordinating and supporting PMRT and ATAIN review processes in line with national requirements.

Contributing to quality improvement initiatives across maternity and neonatal services.

Supporting compassionate engagement with families throughout review processes, ensuring their perspectives are heard and considered.

Preparing reports, reviewing data and presenting findings through governance and quality forums.

Working collaboratively across maternity and neonatal services to improve outcomes and reduce avoidable separation of babies and families.

This is an exciting time to join our maternity teams across York and Scarborough. Following our recent CQC inspection, maternity services at both York and Scarborough were rated Good across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led. This achievement reflects the dedication, compassion and professionalism of our workforce, and our commitment to listening to women, families and colleagues to continually improve the care we provide.

You will be joining a service that has made significant progress and is proud of what has been achieved, while recognising there is still more to do. We are committed to continuous learning, innovation and improvement, building on strong foundations to shape the future of maternity care across our Trust.

This is an opportunity to be part of that journey, joining a forward-looking team that values collaboration, ambition and the voices of women, families and staff as we continue to develop and strengthen our services for the future.
