Full Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Quality Improvement & Safety Team at The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust., The primary focus of the role is to equip the clinical workforce and support front line nursing, midwifery & allied health professional staff to constantly assess the status of the care provided and to use evidence based methods and tools to continuously improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients. In particular initiating and sustaining improvements around pressure ulcers, patient falls, nutrition and hydration, patient experience and clinical effectiveness.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic and motivated with some experience of quality improvements in an acute/community setting, however full support will be available to undertake any additional education and training related to the post. This is an excellent opportunity for a highly experienced Registered Nurse or Allied health Professional who has the skills and ambition to develop their career within quality improvement and safety.

We are an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff work in patients homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield). We prioritise our people and values so we can deliver the best possible care to patients. Our team is friendly, passionate, and innovative, always seeking better ways to work.

We support work-life balance and foster a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and especially encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minority groups, and people with disabilities or neurodivergence to apply, as they are currently underrepresented in the Trust.

If you value caring, high standards, improvement, and respect, join the MY team to make a difference every day.
