This is an exciting opportunity for an innovative role within the new Perinatal Trauma and Loss Service. The service will aim to integrate maternity, reproductive health and psychological therapy for women experiencing mental health difficulties arising from their maternity experience including trauma and loss. This service will be based alongside the Perinatal Mental Health Team and work closely with a Principal Clinical Psychologist.
This post will be based in Cambridge, Ely and south Cambridgeshire, with operational links to the local maternity Rosie hospital to assure midwifery skills and registration are maintained. The post-holder will help to assess patients who are experiencing severe mental health difficulties as a result of perinatal loss and trauma. They will be supported to deliver therapeutic interventions and groups, particularly for those women who go on to become pregnant again. They will support with birth planning and work closely with local midwifery teams to support the delivery of trauma-informed care. They will provide training and support to maternity services.
We have a hybrid working model but are a community-based team and there will be an expectation to travel for home visits. We would encourage applications from those with applicable knowledge and skills, but specialist training and supervision will be provided.
Advert
The Specialist Midwife will support the delivery of this specialist service, under the supervision of a Principal and Consultant Clinical Psychologist.

Where a patient becomes pregnant again, they will lead on birth planning and liaise closely with maternity services to ensure trauma informed care and support. They will also provide relevant training and support to maternity and other partner agencies, promoting the integration of services to improve the experience of women with severe mental health difficulties.
The post holder will work within professional guidelines and exercise responsibility for their caseload following appropriate governance procedures.
