Practice Educator - Sexual Health
Help shape the future of sexual health education across Leicestershire and Rutland.
Are you an experienced Sexual Health Nurse with a passion for developing others, sharing your clinical expertise and raising standards of care?
We're looking for a knowledgeable and motivated Practice Educator to join our Leicestershire and Rutland Sexual Health Hub, taking a leading role in developing and delivering high-quality clinical education and training across our services and wider healthcare community.
This is an opportunity to make a real difference, not just to the professional development of colleagues, but to the quality and accessibility of sexual health services delivered to local communities.
Based in Loughborough, this is a permanent, part-time position working 19 hours per week, with travel across Leicestershire and Rutland to support colleagues and healthcare partners.
You'll use your clinical knowledge, teaching experience and leadership skills to influence best practice, build professional confidence and support the development of a skilled and competent workforce.
What You'll Do
As our Practice Educator, you'll lead the development, coordination and delivery of clinical education and training across the Leicestershire and Rutland Sexual Health Hub.
Working closely with our clinical teams, outreach services, GPs, pharmacies and other healthcare partners, you'll identify learning needs, develop training programmes and ensure colleagues have the knowledge, skills and competencies to deliver safe, effective sexual health care.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing and delivering structured education and training programmes for clinical and non-clinical colleagues, both within the service and across our wider healthcare network.
- Supporting the training, assessment and development of healthcare professionals in contraception, sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment, and Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC).
- Providing clinical supervision, competency assessments and ongoing professional development support to colleagues, including those working towards FSRH qualifications.
- Working collaboratively with GPs, pharmacy professionals, school nursing teams, health visitors and other partners to strengthen sexual health knowledge and clinical practice.
- Identifying gaps in knowledge and skills, developing tailored learning opportunities and evaluating the effectiveness of training delivered.
- Supporting clinical governance, quality improvement and the implementation of current evidence-based guidance and professional standards.
- Building strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, promoting a consistent and joined-up approach to sexual health education across Leicestershire and Rutland.
- Supporting clinical practice within the Sexual Health Hub where required, helping maintain high standards of patient care alongside your educational responsibilities.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced Registered Nurse who combines strong clinical expertise in sexual health with a genuine enthusiasm for teaching, mentoring and developing others.
To be successful in this role, you'll need:
- Current Registered Nurse registration.
- Recognised competencies in contraception, including qualifications in LARC fitting and removal.
- An FSRH Faculty Registered Trainer qualification.
- Previous experience in clinical education, training and professional development.
- Strong knowledge of sexual health, contraception and the training needs of healthcare professionals working across primary care and pharmacy settings.
- Experience of clinical leadership and working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
- Excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to engage and influence a wide range of healthcare professionals.
- The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and develop effective working relationships.
- Flexibility to travel between service locations and partner sites across the area.
A relevant postgraduate qualification or nurse prescribing qualification would be advantageous, although neither is essential.
Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys helping others learn, takes pride in maintaining high clinical standards and is keen to make a lasting contribution to sexual health education.
