Professionals Support and Engagement Adviser
Application Deadline: 22 September 2026
Department: Casework Support Team
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: London or Edinburgh
Reporting To: Emma Willis
Compensation: £32,249 - £34,676 / year
Description
Join a team improving how professionals experience and engage with our regulatory processes.
Join a team contributing to a significant programme of work to improve registrants' experience of our regulatory processes. You'll work with colleagues across the organisation to strengthen practice, helping ensure professionals can participate effectively in processes affecting them.
Our Professional Support and Engagement Team works closely with safeguarding, wellbeing and other colleagues, strengthening how we identify and respond to factors that may affect nursing and midwifery professionals' involvement in our processes. A key priority is developing support, guidance and resources for unrepresented registrants, initially focusing on cases that have progressed to a Fitness to Practise Committee. While the role is primarily focused on improving experience and building colleagues' capability, some cases require direct engagement with registrants to help them understand proceedings, access support and engage fully. Through this work, the team promotes a values-based and needs-led approach to regulation, grounded in collaboration, sound judgement and practical problem solving.
This is a role where you can make a meaningful difference. You'll help colleagues identify and respond to barriers to engagement, advise on complex situations and contribute to improvements that enhance the experience of professionals while maintaining confidence in regulation. You'll also help shape guidance, training and learning that strengthens our approach.
Your role & impact
We welcome applications from people with a range of professional backgrounds who are passionate about helping others navigate complex, formal or challenging processes. You may have experience in professional regulation, health and social care, advocacy, various judicial processes, ombudsman services, safeguarding, or similar roles where you've supported people through challenging situations while helping to improve practice.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are looking for individuals who can:
- Provide guidance in cases involving additional vulnerabilities, complex needs or unrepresented registrants.
- Work directly with registrants where additional assistance is needed to support meaningful engagement.
- Advise colleagues on identifying barriers to participation and developing practical, inclusive approaches to engagement.
- Build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders to promote inclusive, values-based approaches to regulation.
- Share learning and insights that contribute to continuous improvement.
This role offers the opportunity to strengthen organisational practice while helping individuals facing significant barriers engage effectively in processes that affect them.
What you'll bring
You'll be committed to fairness and confident supporting people through complex and challenging situations. You'll bring:
- Experience helping people navigate complex, formal or stressful processes, particularly where barriers to participation exist.
- A strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, with knowledge of trauma-informed practice, safeguarding and partnership working.
- Excellent communication and relationship building skills, with the ability to build trust and explain complex information clearly and sensitively.
- Sound judgement in managing risk and identifying practical, proportionate solutions.
- Resilience, empathy and professionalism, alongside a collaborative approach to learning, improvement and service development.
Why join us?
This is an opportunity to use your skills in a role that combines advice, stakeholder engagement and service improvement. You'll help strengthen how teams respond to complex needs while contributing to a regulatory process that is fair, inclusive and effective.
If you're motivated by helping people navigate complex regulatory processes and ensuring everyone can participate fairly and effectively, this is your opportunity to make a real and lasting impact.
