Job summary
The Community Engagement Implementation Manager will play a key role in leading the delivery and coordination of community engagement activities as part of the Perinatal Equity and Anti-Discrimination Programme (PEADP), a national programme of work commissioned by NHS England to address racism and discrimination in perinatal services, being rolled out in 158 maternity and neonatal sites across England. The programme delivery is being led by the Observatory in partnership with Advancing Quality Alliance (Aqua), Inspiring Hope, and White Ribbon Alliance UK.
Reporting to the Head of Implementation, the postholder will lead the delivery of PEADP community listening and engagement activities and contribute to the Observatorys wider community engagement strategy. Working closely with Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) leads, Trust community engagement leads, and community organisations across England, they will deliver activities using anti-racist and trauma-informed approaches. This work will deepen understanding of the experiences and outcomes of minoritised communities in maternity and neonatal services and inform improvements in care led by NHS senior leaders participating in the programme. The postholder will also work closely with the Senior Implementation Programme Manager to ensure operational alignment across the programme.
Main duties of the job
- Lead the planning and delivery of community engagement and listening activities that support the Perinatal equity and Equality Anti-Discrimination Programme (PEADP).
- Build trusted relationships with maternity and neonatal service users, communities, voluntary and community sector organisations, NHS partners and other stakeholders to ensure lived experience informs programme delivery.
- Co-design and deliver engagement activities that amplify the voices of women, babies and families from communities experiencing health inequalities and racial disparities.
- Manage community engagement projects coordinating resources, monitoring delivery, managing risks and ensuring programme milestones are achieved.
- Analyse and communicate community insights, producing reports and recommendations that inform implementation, influence decision-making and support the delivery of PEADP.
- Work collaboratively with the delivery partners Advancing Quality Alliance (Aqua), Inspiring Hope, and White Ribbon Alliance UK to support the implementation of the PEADP and improve equity in maternity care.
About us

It is a proactive investigator, providing strong recommendations that inform policymaking and facilitate change. It is evidence-driven and solution-focused.

Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a Respiratory Physiotherapist to work into the UK's first Specialist Emergency Care Hospital at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, rated outstanding twice by the CQC.
This post offers rotations into the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital covering Respiratory Medicine, Cardiology and Coronary Care, Accident and Emergency, Surgery and Critical Care.

Please note we reserve the right to close this vacancy prior to the closing date once the required number of suitable applications have been received.
Main duties of the job
Lead by a clinical specialist, the Respiratory Physiotherapy team has a strong service development ethos to continually improve the quality of patient care and work towards national guidelines and quality standards.
There are strong links with the multidisciplinary team and a robust appraisal system is in place to ensure continuous professional development. There is opportunity to be involved in local and national audits, research trials and service development projects.
The successful applicant must demonstrate excellent communication skills with both the multidisciplinary team and peers. There must be evidence of continued professional development and post graduate training to support applications.

About us
We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres. We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate. High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us. We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.
