- A continuous improvement process that builds upon personal and professional resilience
- Enhances quality of care for women
- Supports preparedness for midwives in appraisal and professional revalidation.

The ultimate aim is that the continuous improvement process of the “A-EQUIP” model will become an intrinsic part of every midwife’s job, every day (NHS England 2016).

The post holder will assist the Trust by implementing the elements of the A-EQUIP model utilising the guidance issued by NHS England in April 2017.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, visible and motivated individual who will enhance the existing excellence within the team.

- Use effective communication strategies and influencing skills to achieve desired outcomes and make appropriate referrals for advocacy, mediation or arbitration.
- Support midwives to work in partnership with women to develop plans of care which meet their individual needs, to listen to them and to advocate for them as required
- To assist in implementing the maternity services Better Births improvement plan, learning from the Ockenden report and the Trust’s Five Years Forward strategy
- Promote women centred care and autonomous midwifery practice in all clinical areas
- Support midwives through restorative clinical supervision to examine their role in the maternity department
- Assist midwives to develop their professional and career development choices
- Maintain a database of all midwives’ revalidation dates for the Trust and ensure that they are prepared to revalidate effectively as per NMC guidance

**Working for our organisation**:
We work as part of the St George’s, Epsom and St Helier Hospital care group, with a shared leadership and increasing collaboration to develop stronger clinical and corporate services between two major providers serving Surrey and South West London.

In autumn 2019, as an entire Trust, we moved up to become rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and we seek to continually improve. As part of that, we have secured £500m as part of the government's Hospital Infrastructure Plan to enable us to build a brand new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Sutton and finish the refurbishment of the existing buildings on the Epsom and St Helier hospital sites.

We are committed to making all of our work places great places to work, with the right support and culture to help you excel. We spoke with more than 3,000 colleagues about what makes a good day at work and as a result introduced a new core value - 'Respect'. And as a result 'Respect' is at the heart of everything we do. This means we want everyone who works with us to be able to do the best that they possibly can with opportunities available for everyone to grow and develop. It also means that there is no place for bullying, racism, discrimination or other poor behaviours.
