Midwifery Matron: Antenatal Services & Complex Care | University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

Join us on our journey to become the best Maternity Service in the country and be part of our exceptional, inspirational, dynamic and highly experienced senior midwifery team, as the Antenatal Services & Complex Care Matron.

We are a forward-thinking team with a philosophy of providing the best possible care to women, babies, and their families. This is achieved by providing effective training, education and working collaboratively as a midwifery and medical team.

You will be supported to deliver excellent safe and high-quality maternity care through the leadership of antenatal services and the complex care (specialist) midwifery teams. You will expand a portfolio of experience to broaden the professional experience to enhance your future carer.

Improving the quality and safety of services, reducing inequalities of health, and working with system partners to provide the best start in life for people in our community is central to the role. Along with ensuring that women and birthing people are supported to make informed decisions about their care, and to enable them to dynamically update their personalised care plan and share with clinicians

The post holder will be a highly visible senior midwife and as such expected to provide specialist knowledge, advice and clinical expertise.

• Leading by example the postholder will drive up standards of clinical care and have the authority to get the essential components of care right for women, birthing people and their families

• Working collaboratively with other Matrons the postholder will contribute to the development and delivery of both Trust and Divisional objectives and assisting in the delivery of the governance agenda

• To be responsible for setting and monitoring clinical standards and to play a proactive role in quality improvement, whilst demonstrating an awareness of the impact of each clinical area’s activity, interacting with other areas to provide a seamless service

• Taking responsibility for operational management of the antenatal service and the specialist midwives, and to provide oversight of a clinical area, as delegated by the Head of Midwifery. The postholder will line manage antenatal services in addition to members of the specialist Midwifery team working across all sites

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:

• high-quality care for all,

• being a great place to work

• partnerships for impact, and

• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do – taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,

• we are proud,

• we are inclusive, and

• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
