We are looking for 2 organised, motivated and enthusiastic Perinatal Project Administrators (PPAs) to take key roles in the administration and signposting of perinatal women and people into district wide services.

This is a unique roll which will enable you to broaden your field of experience, expand your skills and capabilities related to NHS career roles, increase your awareness of the wider community, and help you to further understand the local health and care system.

The post holders will be based in our Keighley Community Midwifery Team and will co-ordinate the identification and recruitment of pregnant/perinatal people who live within the geographical area, into district wide services, aimed at improving outcomes for pregnant people and their families.
- Build and maintain supportive and collaborative relationships with local agencies including midwifery & health visiting teams, local Family Hubs and district wide delivery partners.
- Use information from the local maternity system to identify eligible pregnant people to contact and recruit into district wide perinatal services and support the arrangements for contacting from the service facilitators.

- Maintain records of signposting and navigation activity and provide reports to Community Midwifery Teams as needed.
- Gain feedback from district wide service delivery partners on barriers to engaging families into local services.
