Join our team

We’re looking for skilled clinicians, investigators, support staff and subject matter advisors to make a national impact in reducing maternity-related deaths and brain injuries.

We expect to investigate around 1000 of the most serious maternity cases using our independent, impartial and standardised process that doesn’t apportion blame or liability. Our team investigates intrapartum stillbirth, early neonatal death and severe brain injuries from 37 weeks gestation.

So that we can achieve this, we’re recruiting clinicians and non-clinicians to our regional investigation teams across England. We’re also looking for subject matter advisors to provide clinical expertise to support our maternity investigation programme.

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.
