Job Summary
Are you ready for a challenge, passionate about education, the continual improvement of services we deliver, and patient safety? If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Educator to join the Outpatient Clinical Support Service for a fixed term.
Working closely with the Head of Nursing, Clinical Educator, and Matrons, you will develop, support, and implement an educational framework for both new and experienced outpatient nursing staff of all grades.
