  • Partnering with the senior obstetric and midwifery teams to advance the broader Maternity leadership, operational, governance, and strategic initiatives.

This role will oversee the strategic and operational delivery of all quality assurance aspects related to clinical governance in maternity, ensuring a focus on safety and demonstrating that effective governance practices are understood and implemented across all professional groups within the maternity service.
