1 week ago

Yeovil, Somerset, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced midwife to lead the bereavement services for maternity across Somerset.

The post holder will lead and support the bereavement specialist midwives in providing a high quality and effective bereavement service that is both proactive and reactive to relevant issues from both a local and national perspective.

They will provide support to the wider midwifery and medical staff within the directorate when caring for women experiencing a loss in pregnancy, stillbirth or early neonatal death.

The post holder will act as an educational resource providing training for maternity staff in bereavement care and related issues.


The role will mean working across the two sites of Taunton and Yeovil, offering an opportunity to understand the different demographics and geography ensuring equity and alignment of this specialty across the sites.


The role will involve working closely with the bereavement midwives, coordinating the bereavement services across Somerset to newly bereaved parents and liaising with all members of the team to ensure that an efficient and high quality service is provided.

The role will include taking overall responsibility across Somerset for the co-ordination and submission of required data both locally and nationally and will include ensuring that benchmarking is undertaken of the relevant guidance to ensure the delivery of services are in line with the core principles of the National Bereavement Care Pathway


The bereavement midwife will be a key stakeholder in the Perinatal Mortality Review Tool expert panel and will support the multidisciplinary team to implement learning & service delivery change following care reviews.


Yeovil Hospital is an ambitious and friendly Trust that is proud to provide acute care for a population of more than 225,000 people in South Somerset, North and West Dorset and parts of Mendip.

The hospital has 345 beds, a busy Emergency Department, a variety of outpatient and diagnostics services, and a private patients' wing which offers a personal service in state-of-the-art clinical facilities, with all profits being invested back into NHS healthcare.

Yeovil Hospital's iCARE model, which has established the principles of exemplary patient care, patient and employee experience, has attracted national interest and is embedded in everything we do, following our vision to care for our patients as if they are one of our family.

The Trust's shared vision has led to our staff rating Yeovil Hospital the best in England for employee health and wellbeing for the third year running in the annual NHS staff survey 2020.


The post holder will be an expert specialist midwife who will clinically lead the development and maintenance of high quality standards of care designed to address the complex issues surrounding pregnancy loss.

Also to empower and support professionals to meet the specialist needs of those suffering bereavement due to miscarriage, termination of pregnancy for fetal anomaly or neonatal death.


Working closely alongside the multi-disciplinary team, including the screening teams, the post holder will act as a positive role model and will provide sound professional knowledge and leadership to all members of the multi-disciplinary team within maternity and neonatal services.

This will include liaising and working collaboratively with the Chaplain and support services as well as the mortuary and external support services.

The post holder will be the lead Midwife responsible for the implementation and continuation of the National Bereavement Care Pathway (NBCP) to ensure that all bereaved families are offered the same high standard of family centred, empathetic and safe care when a baby dies.

You will support and ensure that professionals have access to guidance, materials and training to support their work. You will work closely with the governance teams to ensure that all national data requirements are met.
