Bereavement Midwife

We have co-produced a bereavement pathway that follows families throughout the bereavement pathway whilst also supporting staff to give personalised and holistic bereavement care

The role of the band 6 Bereavement Midwife is to provide continuity of care to women and their families who experience pregnancy loss through to a subsequent pregnancy. They will be an advocate for women and their families in accordance with the philosophy and standards of care within the area, ensuring that Trust values and beliefs are upheld.

The Bereavement midwife has a fundamental role in the delivery of high standards of bereavement and midwifery care, ensuring an environment that is conducive to wellbeing.

We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 800,000 people. Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: 'People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference’. We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
