For further information relating to this position, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.
Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) would like to offer a unique opportunity for a Psychologist with an interest in maternity care, to apply for this role working with families who were previously part of the Ockenden Review into maternity provision at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust (SaTH). The post will be hosted and managed within MPFT's Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Care Group, with close links with our Maternal Mental Health Service. The post is part time, working 15 hours per week.
The post-holder will work with families who were part of the Ockenden Review, who have come forward to request support in relation to the current impact of the maternity experiences which led to their inclusion in the Review.
The Maternity Review Psychology Service (MRPS) was previously available to all families who were part of the Ockenden Review, and had a similar timeframe to the Review process, so that families could access support when they needed it, for example around the time of the Review being published in March 2022. This original MRPS provision reached a planned ending in 2023, and has recently been recommissioned for families who may wish to build on work previously completed with MRPS, or who may value the opportunity to access this support for the first time.
Clinical supervision will be provided by an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist, formerly the Clinical Lead for the original MRPS provision.
Duties will include:
- Provision of a specialist Psychology service for families who were part of the Ockenden Maternity Review into adverse maternity experiences at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust (SaTH).
- Offering specialist psychological assessment/consultation and psychological interventions for families, which may include working with women or birthing persons who have experienced perinatal bereavement and/or trauma, and other family members who have been similarly affected by the adverse maternity experiences which led to inclusion in the Review, for example partners, couples, grandparents, siblings, and young people living with birth related health conditions.
- Embedding systematic evaluation of interventions offered within the offer, enabling monitoring of the effectiveness and quality of experience for families, and feedback to commissioners on demand for the service
