MNVP Business & Project Support Officer

NHS AfC: Band 5

Job overview

A Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) is an independent team made up of women, birthing persons and their families; Providers; the Integrated Care Board (ICB); who commission health services, the Local Authority (LA), who commission public health and social care, and our Voluntary Services.

The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire MNVP includes the areas of Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County, incorporating two Hospital providers: Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust and Sherwood Forest Hospitals (SFH) NHS Foundation Trust.

The MNVP works in collaboration with system partners within the local Maternity & Neonatal System (LMNS) to support service improvements.

Our MNVP also includes a great team of passionate MNVP volunteers who represent and reach out to local women, birthing persons and their families to gather feedback on their experiences. Some volunteers also collaborate with the Providers to support service improvements based on the voice of our service users.

Hearing the voices of women and families is a requirement of NHS England’s Three Year Delivery Plan for Maternity & Neonatal Services (March 2023).

We are recruiting to the position of an MNVP Business & Project Support Manager to support us in delivering these requirements. It is hoped that this new role will be an enabler for our MNVP to effectively listen, gather feedback from service users and to feel confident to get involved with service improvement activities.

Main duties of the job

The MNVP Business & Project Support Manager will work collaboratively with the MVP and NVP Leads to:

  • Produce day to day administration, meeting and business support to the MNVP programme
  • Support the delivery of MNVP workplan priorities, insight visits, training and engagement activities, including event booking
  • Work in collaboration with the ICB, LMNS, Maternity & Neonatal Providers, Service users and other stakeholders in the partnership
  • Analyse data and develop professional reports and other methods for sharing feedback on the impact MNVP is having locally to support transformation and service improvement activity
  • Responsible for day to day supervision and work allocation to other members of the MNVP Team.

Working for our organisation

This advertised post will sit within the Local Maternity & Neonatal System Programme Management Office (LMNS PMO), a team within the ICB who has oversight and supports transformation of local maternity and neonatal care and who also host the MNVP.

Our vision is for maternity services across Nottingham & Nottinghamshire to become safer, more personalised, kinder, professional and more family friendly; where every woman or birthing person has access to information to make decisions about their care; and where they and the baby can access support that is centered around their individual needs and circumstances.

The postholder will be expected to work within the ICB values: 

1) Open and Honest

2) Compassionate and Respectful

3) Innovative and

4) Work collaboratively.
