Using your well-honed leadership skills, you’ll act as a support to the Ward Manager or Team Leader, deputise for them when necessary, and develop and maintain organisational and managerial skills relevant to the ward or department. Implementing the Trust’s annual appraisal process will be another key duty, as will participating and leading in the Improving Quality Programme.
As a motivating and inspirational practice assessor, you’ll be a resource for all our midwives, support staff and students, encouraging a high level of achievement in everyone you work with. You’ll all ensure the clinical environment is conducive to supporting education and learning, and see that your training is updated annually.
Your organisational and management skills will help you understand and appreciate the cost implications associated with our service, and ensure the effective use of all the resources we use.
The maintenance of your own professional development will be key to your success, and you’ll also help to promote awareness of current developments in midwifery, and look out for every opportunity to increase your own knowledge, skills and expertise.
Dedicated to providing an environment that encourages patient-centred involvement, you’ll promote good working relationships with all the internal and external departments you work with, with the ultimate aim of providing the best patient journey possible.
