Description

An exciting opportunity to support and quality assure nursing and midwifery pre and post-registration workplace learning within Lothian Health Board area.

Within this role you will facilitate the development of the workplace as a sustainable quality learning environment for all nursing and midwifery professional staff working across all care settings within Lothian Health Board area.

You will support staff to implement the NMC Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment, supporting the development and consolidation as Practice Supervisors and Practice Assessors.

In addition to supporting pre-registration nursing and midwifery students, you will be involved in supporting Newly Qualified Registered Nurses both in local areas and by delivering on the Newly Qualified Registered Nurse programme.

As a team, we are focused on widening access to nursing and midwifery, you will also be supporting other learners including HNC students and Return to Practice students.

You will contribute to collaborative working between NHS Lothian, NHS Education for Scotland and our Higher Education and Further Education partners.

A key aspect of this role is to both support and maximise practice learning capacity whilst maintaining a quality learning environment.

Applicants must have approved practice assessor experience.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.

This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.

However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
