Strategic Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership - Sheffield, United Kingdom - NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
Description
Job summary
Fixed Term or Secondment - 12 months (30 hours per week)
Interview Date: 6 June 2024
A Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) is an NHS working group of women, birthing people and their families, commissioners and maternity service staff collaborating to review and develop local maternity and neonatal care. It is led by an independent person who ensures all service users are represented.
The Strategic Lead for the MNVP is responsible for delivering the agreed objectives of the partnership and is expected to use their influence to drive the delivery of highly effective and visible outcomes.
An MNVP listens to the experiences of women and families, and brings together service users, staff and other stakeholders to plan, review and improve maternity and neonatal care.
MNVPs ensure that service users voices are at the heart of decision-making in maternity and neonatal services by being embedded within the leadership of provider trusts and feeding into the Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS), which in turn feeds into Integrated Care Board (ICB) decision-making.
This influences improvements in the safety, quality, and experience of maternity and neonatal care.
This role is part of a pilot project in South Yorkshire, to model how the involvement of a strategic service user voice can benefit, systems, services and ultimately outcomes.
Main duties of the job
The strategic lead will represent the MNVP at local and national maternity and neonatal meetings and events and provide independent challenge and scrutiny based on evidence gathered from parents/carers and professionals from the projects.
As the strategic lead for service user voice, you will lead the organisation to identify and engage with pregnant women, parents and their families at every level to enable authentic co-production. The post holder will be able to demonstrate independence from the NHS Trusts across South Yorkshire, enabling them to advocate for the voice of service users.
You will lead and enable the MNVP to deliver projects focused on improving the quality of care provided for maternity and neonatal service users through the lens of lived experience; you will identify key strategic barriers to providing high quality care as defined by women and families and co-create solutions.
This will include co-production, with other team members and experts both within and out with the team to produce supporting guidance, tools, and technologies. We are particularly keen to consider how we can best reach groups who are marginalised and how we can co-produce with these communities in a way which is both meaningful and authentic to them and has a positive impact on experience and outcomes.
About us
NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board oversees healthand social care for a population of people. Working through our four places, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield, we are building on thestrengths, capacity and knowledge of all those directly involved with our localcommunities to deliver our four key aims of Improving outcomes inpopulation health and healthcare; Tackling inequalities in outcomes, experienceand access; Enhancing productivity and value for money; and Helping the NHSsupport broader social and economic development.
Our near 1,000 staff are committed to addressing the broaderhealth, public health, and social care needs of the population across SouthYorkshire through our values of One Team, Empowered and Innovative. We work as a key partner with theIntegrated Care Partnership (ICP) of health and care providers within the SouthYorkshire Integrated Care System (ICS) to collectively deliver health and careservices that meet the needs of the local population.

We workalongside all these colleagues through local councils, our VCSEpartners and other partners to address health inequalities and widerdeterminants of health in South Yorkshire.
