The HCPC is looking for an individual like you to join our Education team as an Education Manager. Education Managers are passionate, dedicated individuals who genuinely care about protecting the public and upholding regulatory standards across healthcare education and training.
About The Role
The Education Department is one of HCPC’s most critical teams. To become a registrant, individuals must have successfully completed an approved programme. This demonstrates they have met the threshold standards to practise safely and effectively in their chosen profession. Education Managers oversee the work of the team to run our quality assurance processes, lead on national engagement with key stakeholder groups, and deliver improvements to our operating processes.
The successful candidate will be able to make an immediate impact at a crucial time for education and training in healthcare. There are several initiatives and challenges within the sector currently, including the NHS 10-year Plan for England, and financial difficulties at education providers. Education Managers lead key areas of work, and are autonomous within a supportive environment, and have a high level of influence over the delivery of our regulatory education quality assurance model.
A wide range of backgrounds is welcome, and we are most interested in finding an individual who can provide oversight and management of the team, and work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders.

* To liaise with the Education and Training Committee and its panels, including the preparation of reports, draft papers and presentations
* To lead and manage project work within an education team, including budget planning and resource management
What We're Looking For
* Thorough knowledge and understanding of how educational quality assurance is applied within an education, health or regulatory environment.
* Proven ability to lead, support, manage, motivate and inspire a team, and foster enthusiasm and innovation.
* Demonstrable project management skills and ability to design and implement complex internal business processes or equivalent.
* Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the demonstrated ability to communicate professionally with education stakeholders at all levels.
