An opportunity has arisen to get involved in the work of the Freedom to Speak Up Guardian within the Trust.

Freedom to Speak Up Guardians help protect patient safety and the quality of care and improve the experience of workers by ensuring that all workers are supported in speaking up and a positive culture of speaking up is fostered.

- Seek guidance and support from and, where appropriate, escalate matters to, bodies outside their organisation
- Support, and contribute to, the national Freedom to Speak Up Guardian network, comply with National Guardian Office guidance, and support each other by providing peer-to-peer support and sharing
- Spend the majority of their time with front line teams listening to issues and encouraging the raising of concerns, promoting a culture of transparency and the safety of all of our service users, visitors, staff and volunteers.
- The role will co-ordinate the activities of and support the Freedom to Speak Up champions
- In pursuing these duties the post holder will ensure compliance with the NHS Constitution and be familiar with the NHS England Guidance ‘Understanding the new NHS’.
