Delivery Suite Coordinator

You will be part of a 24 hour roster, coordinating a busy delivery suite; including unplanned care alongside planned care such as the induction of labour and elective caesarean pathways. You will also be responsible for having oversight of the maternity assessment unit and ante/post natal ward- particularly out of hours.

You will be expected to support junior members of the multi-disciplinary team in their development; completing appraisals, LCAT assessments and acting as a clinical expert and role model in the area. You will be expected to address poor performance and escalate concerns, should they present.

You will be required to hold the maternity unit bleep out of hours and undertake identified management responsibilities relevant to working in an acute clinical setting.

You will be required to liaise with and support the other sites and areas where UHL delivers maternity services, in order to establish safe service and improved patient experience provision across all areas.

We are looking for dynamic and motivated midwives who wish to become part of the Delivery Suite Coordinator and Band 7 Team. This is an excellent development opportunity and chance for individuals with appropriate strengths, qualities and experience to really hone their leadership skills, whilst supporting colleagues to deliver excellent, patient focused and safe clinical care to all service users.

The successful applicants must be able to demonstrate relevant clinical expertise and recent professional development. We recognise that this role requires significant resilience as well as a real thirst for working in a complex and challenging clinical area.

This is very much a leadership role and requires both tenacity and a commitment to providing high quality care where the service users are clearly recognised as the priority in safe service provision. There is an expectation that you demonstrate and role model high levels of clinical standards. In return you will receive support whilst you settle into the role and further continued support and on-going development as you become more experienced.

If you are ready to move your career forward and feel able to bring enthusiasm, commitment and drive then we look forward to receiving your application.
