Delivery Suite Coordinator

Band 7

Job overview

We are looking for an experienced midwife with enthusiasm for delivering high quality women centred care, to join our team of Delivery Suite Coordinators. 

The Delivery Suite  coordinator has responsibility for the organisation of workload within the department promoting continuity of carer and liaising with team leaders. In addition you will provide leadership, act as a mentor across the service and promote positive multidisciplinary team working.

Harrogate is a high performing maternity unit and we are seeking highly motivated individuals to contribute and develop the delivery of high quality, evidence-based midwifery.

Main duties of the job

  • Coordinate services to ensure that the individual needs of service users and their families are met.
  • To provide care, support and advice to women and their families throughout the intrapartum and immediate post natal period.
  • To be a clinical role model demonstrating expert clinical practice whilst providing support and advice for less experienced midwives and other members of the multidisciplinary team.

Working for our organisation

At Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust we provide ‘outstanding’ care to both our patients and our staff. We support staff through benefits, health and wellbeing initiatives and opportunities for personal and professional development.

  • An inclusive and supportive culture – our Trust encourages staff to bring their whole selves to work and active Staff Networks identify areas for improvement.

  • Staff Recognition - as well as regular appraisals, we recognise staff with our Making a Difference  Awards and GREATix nominations. 

  • Employee Support and wellbeing - we have a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme, counselling service and fast track physiotherapy service for employees.

  • Staff Benefits - We have a range of staff benefits and schemes to support staff health, engagement, wellbeing and inclusion.
