Job responsibilities

Key responsibilities

Clinical leadership and expert perinatal practice

Act as an expert resource for colleagues on health inequalities, barriers to engagement, trauma-informed care, culturally safe care, personalised care, and reasonable adjustments.

Provide senior midwifery advice in complex situations where there are concerns regarding access to care, communication, engagement, care coordination or potential inequity.

Support the development of individualised, trauma-informed and culturally responsive care plans for women and families with complex circumstances.

Promote early identification of women who may require additional support, ensuring that referral pathways are clear, proportionate and non-stigmatising.

Work collaboratively with community- and hospital-based midwives to improve continuity, communication, and safe transitions between services.

Maintain clinical credibility through an agreed clinical component of the role. This should be purposeful and equity-focused, for example through targeted clinics, outreach, complex-care coordination or observational work across services, rather than routine redeployment to fill staffing gaps.

Ensure all care and advice are provided in accordance with the NMC Code, Trust policies, safeguarding requirements, information governance and current national guidance.

Advocate for women and families while balancing autonomy, informed choice, infant wellbeing and safeguarding responsibilities.

Reducing barriers to access and engagement

Identify practical, cultural, structural and service-related barriers that prevent women and families from accessing timely perinatal care.

Lead the development of targeted, accessible approaches to early booking, antenatal screening, maternity education, birth preparation, postnatal support and infant feeding.

Work with services to reduce missed appointments and late presentation through flexible, accessible and proportionate approaches, rather than punitive or exclusionary processes.

Support accessible communication, including professional interpreters, translated information, easy-read materials, visual resources, and alternative communication methods.

Promote the use of professional interpreting services for all sensitive or clinical conversations. Children, family members and friends must not be used as interpreters except in immediate emergencies where no safe alternative is available.

Work with local partners to address barriers such as transport, travel costs, lack of phone credit or internet access, unfamiliarity with appointment systems, and difficulty navigating services.

Ensure pathways are inclusive of women whose immigration status, previous experiences, fear of authorities or distrust of services may affect engagement.
