Maternity and Neonatal Independent Senior Advocate

2 weeks ago


Nottingham, United Kingdom NHS Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board Full time

The role of Independent Senior Advocate (ISA) is a new role, developed as part of an exciting national pilot scheme. This is a 12-month, fixed-term contract, following which there will be a nationally commissioned external independent evaluation to inform the future roll out.

It will not be appropriate to second any currently practicing clinicians from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Maternity services / Trusts into the role as this will undermine the level of independence of the role.

ISAs will work across both Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and Sherwood Forest Hospitals Foundation Trust to support women, birthing people and families across the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area. They will help parents-to-be, new parents and families to be listened to, ensuring their voices are heard by their maternity and neonatal care providers. They will provide support to support women, birthing people and their families navigating the healthcare system and provide advocacy when they have a concern about the care they are receiving. In particular, ISAs will be available to support families attending follow up meetings with clinicians, where concerns about maternity or neonatal care are discussed, aiming to break down barriers to being listened to and heard. Their focus must be on supporting women, birthing people and families to navigate through complexity, to help to resolve their concerns and to seek change and improvements in their care.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for more detailed information about the role and the skills needed.

Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB is responsible for the healthcare of a population of just over one million people. Our role involves deciding what services are needed for our diverse local populations, ensuring that they are provided and checking that they are delivering what's needed.

The ICB is a strategic component of the Integrated Care System (ICS) across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire delivering the commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

As a strategic commissioner we are responsible for meeting the needs of our population through commissioning high quality services. We seek to improve the patient experience and are committed at looking at innovative ways we can improve care and offer more choice. Patients are at the heart of everything we do and it's important that they are involved not just in decisions about their individual care, but also in the decisions that shape the health services delivered locally.

Essential qualities include, advocacy and listening skills, experience of making change at a senior level across health and care, thorough knowledge of maternity services and the ability to support women and families navigate complex issues. A clinical background is not an essential quality.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for more detail.
