The role

Professional Lead Accreditation London HQ with hybrid working 35 hours per week, Permanent Salary range per annum: £66,909- £75,492* There is more to the RCN than you might think.

We're a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them.

We exist to make a positive difference - to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care.

Our employees are drawn from many walks of life - we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyerstogether we are so much more.

We couldn't do what we do without our people. We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.

As a Professional Lead for Accreditation, you'll use your positive attitude, your knowledge of quality assurance, nursing education and clinical practice and your ability to deliver the RCN Professional Offer across the Institute of Nursing.

It's a job full of possibilities as you could get involved in anything from quality assurance of resources to nursing expertise and guidance in business-to-business discussions.

We'll look to you to work closely with the current RCN Accreditation and Endorsement team to develop and assure our offer.

It's a great way to build your knowledge of our work and develop your potential.

As the Professional Lead for Accreditation for the RCN Institute of Nursing, you'll use your enthusiasm, positive thinking, and nurse education knowledge and skills to support our UK team to deliver the agendas and grow the professional offer.

Every day will be filled with possibilities as you find new ways to manage and support the development of your team.

Taking care of our members will be your primary role, but you'll also see the possibilities that new members can bring.

A key part of what you do will be to suggest innovative approaches to grow our membership.

The person

As well as exceptional customer service, to join us you'll need an in-depth knowledge of nursing quality assurance, education offers, commissioning and policy development across health and social care within the UK.

You will also need to be able to lead the development and delivery of our accreditation work and support the delivery of budgets and projects.

The ability to foster strong professional relationships and encourage close collaboration between departments, members and stakeholders is at the heart of this expert role.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything's possible. What we offer you We expect you to look after our members and customers. And we expect you to be rewarded for it.

We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme.

We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.

*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale.

We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn't fit all.

We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance.

Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver - whether that's to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles.

At the RCN it's unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
