About HSSIB
HSSIB operates under the Health and Care Act 2022 to improve patient safety across England through independent investigations. We work collaboratively across the NHS and wider system to share learning and strengthen investigation capability. We are an independent organisation focused on improving patient safety through expert, systems-based investigations. Our reports do not apportion blame or liability; our work identifies learning to make healthcare safer for patients, families, and staff.
We have recently launched our new strategy to help us build investigation excellence across healthcare and strengthen the capability of healthcare investigations. We are seeking an experienced Safety Investigator (Trainer) to join our team.
About the Role
This is a unique role combining high-quality investigation with hands-on training to build capability across the healthcare system.
Our team has diverse experience of healthcare and other safety-critical industries, bringing new perspectives and a unique mix of clinical and non-clinical input to every aspect of safety investigation. As a Safety Investigator (Trainer), the post holder will work as part of this dynamic team delivering an effective service within a multi-disciplinary Investigations function. Facilitating, promoting, and publicising improvements in the safety of care provision through systems-based investigation methodologies.
