Freedom to Speak Up (FTSU) Guardian Opportunity
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Freedom to Speak Up (FTSU) Guardian to join the Speaking Up team at DBTH. This exciting opportunity comes at a time of organizational and service development and will allow the ideal candidate to participate in and contribute towards the developing journey of Speaking Up and the wider Culture work across the trust.
Role Overview
Delivering on the Speaking Up Strategy for 2024-2028 will provide the Guardian with exposure to engagement across all teams, from all disciplines and personal characteristics. This work will help to identify groups where specific support is required to address or remove barriers that prevent some people from Speaking Up.
Having a healthy speaking up culture is one of the key priorities in the refreshed Speaking Up Strategy and is recognized as being essential to maintaining high levels of patient and colleague safety and improved quality and experience across all services. Enabling this culture requires Guardians to role model ethical behaviors in line with FTSU Guardian Values, the DBTH We Care Values, and the DBTH Way.
Key Responsibilities
- Work alongside the Trust Executive and Senior Leadership teams to support the Trust as an open and transparent place to work, where all staff are actively encouraged and enabled to speak up safely.
- Protect patient safety and quality of care.
- Lead and support a team of FTSU Champions across the Trust, ensuring all staff are able to report concerns and have a good experience when they choose to do so.
- Operate in an independent, impartial, and objective capacity with complete autonomy to support the Trust's aim to improve openness and transparency when encouraging staff to speak up safely and encouraging a listening and learning culture.
