We are recruiting for a Specialist Safeguarding Midwife who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.
A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join a dynamic safeguarding team, as a Band 7 Specialist Safeguarding Midwife.
The post holder will be a fundamental part of the safeguarding team and work closely with the Trust named midwife to ensure that the safeguarding remains at the heart of practice for women and UBB across the Trust.
The post holder will be working closely with Safeguarding Children's/Adults Teams, Perinatal Mental Health midwives and our Trust Domestic and Sexual Abuse Team.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
The role of the safeguarding midwife includes supervision, training, education, managing and maintaining a very busy inbox, liaising with our multi-agency partners to ensure that robust plans are in place for our most vulnerable babies.
In addition attending a variety of Children's Social Care and Multi-disciplinary meetings (in person and virtual) and chairing meetings are a part of the role. As well as directly supporting women and midwives the role requires some auditing and data analysis.
You will work collaboratively with the Named Midwife for safeguarding and other lead professionals in developing safeguarding strategies and policies for the Trust.
The post holder will also be expected to maintain their own knowledge of Safeguarding and continue to develop expertise in this area of
practice.
