Child Death Review Specialist Nurse

34 hours - Permanent.

An unique opportunity has arisen in the newly joined Norfolk & Suffolk Child Death Review Team for a new member to join our existing team. This is a substantive post in a team who will be moving from Norfolk and Suffolk ICB to a provider.

The post holder will be expected to support the Child Death Review Process as defined in Working Together (2023), Child Death Review Statutory Guidance (2018) and Kennedy Report (2016) under the management of the Lead Child Death Review Nurse. They will contribute to the extensive information gathering following all deaths.

This post has two elements to it:

1) Completing statutory Child Death Reviews for all children who die, and main residence is Suffolk or Norfolk and are under 18 years olds this includes neonatal, expected, and unexpected deaths.

2) Acting as the key worker for families as defined in When a Child Dies (2018) and Child Death Review Statutory Guidance (2018) providing high quality, evidence-based support to grieving families.

Due to the nature of the work, evidence of clear effective communication skills is essential. The post holder will be required to work collaboratively with colleagues across a wide range of multidisciplinary teams including medical and nursing, teams in hospital, children's community teams, primary care, police, coronial service, social services, education, housing, and the voluntary sector.
