Job description

Would you like to join our friendly midwifery team in East London? An exciting opportunity has arisen to extend your IT skills within a Midwifery setting.

We are looking to recruit a informatics specialist midwife and can offer an exciting opportunity to lead on informatics within the maternity department at Whipps Cross Hospital.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and IT competent midwife. You will co‑ordinate and lead on the digital strategy for Maternity at Whipps Cross but also support the wider Barts Health Informatics strategy working closely across site with your counterparts. You will also be required to support information technology regarding clinical documentation. Barts Health uses Cerner Millennium (CRS) for recording clinical records, therefore knowledge of a computer‑based clinical documentation is essential.

You will have overall responsibility to ensure the accuracy of data within the service and provide reports as required. The role also includes new developments in IT and, currently, we are in the process of securing a new Informatics system, so you will support its implementation.

The successful candidate will be supported by the senior management team and counterparts across the three maternity units and the wider informatics team.

As part of the Maternity Team, you will co‑ordinate and provide information technology support and training. You will have an overall responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of data within the service and work closely with staff to ensure that they are supported with the inputting of correct information electronically. You will be responsible for the preparation of the maternity dashboard and would also incorporate producing monthly key performance indicator reports for dissemination, discussion, and data quality assurance.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers. The Barts Health Group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world‑class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high‑performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in East London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm‑free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.

We are dedicated to being an outstanding place to work and will work with you to get the best experience.
