Job description

Do you thrive on personal responsibility, have a keen eye for detail, and love to think about the bigger picture? Do you have a restless desire to support teams to be the best they can be through education and training?

Do you excel at analysing situations, thrive on problem solving, have very high standards, and respect others?

If you recognise yourself in the description above and it excites you to think you could be part of our team to help grow our learners and develop our nursing and healthcare workforce whilst establishing a Centre of Excellence for education, then we want to hear from you.

If you are a Registered Nurse/Registered Nurse Children’s with experience leading education and training in Paediatrics and/or Neonates, and have expertise in leading a team to deliver strategic priorities supporting the NHS 10-year plan 'Fit for the Future', then we look forward to your application for this key post at the UHL Children's Hospital.

As an Education and Practice Development Lead, you will collaborate with the Deputy Chief Nurse within the UHL School of Nursing Practice and the Head of Nursing at the UHL Children's Hospital to develop and implement strategic priorities for education, training, and development within the Women's and Children's Clinical Management Group (CMG).

You will also partner with The University of Leicester and De Montfort University to ensure the delivery of high standards of pre- and post-registration education and training are embedded in curricula for our learners.

We are passionate about supporting your postgraduate development, whether in leadership, doctorate studies, or expanding your portfolio across different specialties.

Our new strategy, developed with input from colleagues, patients, and partners, guides us from 2023 to 2030.

We Have Four Primary Goals:
