Job overview

Our Clinical Education Team is committed to improving patient care and experience through enhanced clinical skills and effective teamwork. We deliver high-quality training, including bedside coaching, competency-based development programmes and study events.

We are currently recruiting a Band 7 Clinical Practice Educator for a Trust-wide role across Imperial’s three hospital sites: St Mary’s, Charing Cross and Hammersmith. This post offers the opportunity to work within an Academic Health Science Centre and a Pathway to Excellence accredited hospital.
This is a varied and demanding role requiring strong leadership, motivation and evidence-based clinical practice. In return, you’ll continue to develop your own skills while supporting others. Alongside clinical coaching, team members lead site-specific and cross-site projects aligned with service needs and personal interests.

We’re a supportive, high-performing team offering variety, challenge and the chance to shape education across Imperial. If you’re a Registered Nurse with substantial surgical experience, some critical care skills and current team leadership experience, we’d love to hear from you.
