Perinatal Bereavement Support Worker
5 months ago
Do you want to make a difference to people’s lives?
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated, reliable, compassionate individual with good organisation skills to join our small team, working with the maternity bereavement service.
Experience working with bereaved families is desirable, however full support and training will be given. We will teach you everything you need to know for this physically & emotionally demanding role. To us, it’s more important that you are a team player, caring and a kind person with a genuine desire to help and support women, and their families. If this sounds like you, then you already have the attributes that make a great Bereavement Support Worker.

We would like you to help support bereaved families on our labour ward, participate in memory making, ensure the bereavement room is well stocked, organise follow up appointments for parents with their consultant, liaise with the mortuary/ pathology services and help collate data for audits. This role is interesting and varied and no two days will ever look the same.
As a Bereavement Support Worker, you don’t need any previous bereavement experience, but you will need good literacy (English) and numeracy (maths) skills. We will provide you with all the training that is required to do the job.
It’s your personal skills and values that will be most vital to the role;
we need you to be proactive, compassionate, and willing to get stuck in. It’s a hands-on environment where teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential.
Maternity Services Support Worker roles represent a world of opportunities within the NHS. They are a great entry point into the NHS and can lead on to a lifelong career.
Ashford and St. Peters Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of more than 410,000 people living in North-West Surrey, parts of Hounslow and beyond.
Over 3,700 highly trained doctors, nurses, midwives, therapists, healthcare scientists and other support staff make up our workforce, providing a wide range of services across our two hospital sites, Ashford, Surrey and St Peter's, Chertsey, Surrey.
We also run many specialist clinics in the community and local community hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
Our vision is to be one of the best healthcare Trusts in the country. There has never been a better time to join us in the NHS at ASPH. We are committed to providing continuous professional development, staff benefits and flexibility to shape our workforce around our patient care.
This is an exciting time to join our Trust, as we work on the expansion of our theatres at Ashford Hospital and move towards this becoming our dedicated elective centre. We want to create a state-of-the-art centre for excellence for planned surgical procedures; with care delivered by dedicated, specialist teams in a modern and well-equipped environment.
We hope to use this centre to create an environment of learning and to facilitate training of the next generation of our skilled NHS workforce. Our plans are ambitious - why not, come and be a part of our journey.
There are clinical aspects to the role and these include working with bereaved families to create memories as well as preparing specimens for the mortuary/pathognomics. You will also ensure that practical aids are available and the bereavement rooms are well stocked.
Communicating with clients and their families is an important part of this role and you will be the main point of contact for the service. Admin responsibilities include the organisation of all Consultant led perinatal follow up appointments. You will also contribute to audit, reporting and other clinical governance activity being undertaken by the bereavement team.
The role will also support the team to deliver ad-hoc training in the clinical area as well as helping to facilitate the annual Memory Day and Baby Loss Awareness Week.
