Cabrini is entering one of the most exciting periods in its history, and the capability of our workforce is central to it. We are looking for an accomplished, practical and energising clinical education leader to join us in the newly created role of Assistant Director of Clinical Education , working alongside the Director of Clinical Education to lead the day-to-day delivery of Cabrini’s clinical education programs and simulation centre.

As second in charge of the department, you will bring the Director’s strategy to life, making sure the right education reaches the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

Working in close partnership with the Director of Clinical Education, you will provide visible, hands‑on and contemporary leadership of the education team. You will manage the education calendar, coordinate programs and simulation activity, steward resources, strengthen relationships with clinical services and education partners, and support accreditation readiness, all in service of safe, high‑quality care for every patient, every time.

Why this role is exciting

You bring an innovative approach to teaching and learning, a sound understanding of accreditation requirements, and the ability to bring people with you through growth and change. A postgraduate qualification in clinical education (or working toward) and experience in a senior education role are essential.

Senior clinical education leadership opportunities of this kind do not come along often. If you are ready to step into the second-in-charge role and make a lasting impact on the capability of Cabrini’s people, this is your opportunity.

Join Cabrini. Lead with purpose. Shape the next era of clinical education.
