support the Education and Practice Development Lead in implementing education, training and practice development strategies within

policies to ensure a workforce ‘fit for purpose’ and ‘fit for practice’.
The role involves leading and implementing education, training and development strategies for Gynaecological areas. The successful candidate will also be heavily involved in supporting the Preceptorship Development Programme.
There will be an expectation that you participate in CMG development/ mandatory programmes and collaborate with the CMG Education team. Using your specialist skills to support clinical staff both working clinically and by more formal training you will be involved in new educational initiatives, professional & clinical development and managing projects so should therefore possess excellent leadership and communication skills.
You will be an experienced Band 6 RN with extensive experience, ideally working in a gynaecological environment . You will be clinically

The successful candidate would need to be able to demonstrate a confirmed interest in and experience of initiatives in education and staff
development, good IT skills, and the ability to work autonomously and as part of a wider team of educators.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
