We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated Practice Education Facilitator to join the education team to plan, deliver and evaluate education service provision. You will have a passion for supporting learners, nurses and the wider neonatal team and be adept in collaborating across teams and departments and the South West Neonatal Network Education Service to coordinate education provision. This post will run alongside a Band 6 nurse post to ensure currency in practice. You will have excellent leadership, management and communication skills and take charge of the unit supervising staff and students. In the absence of the Lead Nurse you will bear 24 hour managerial responsibility and accountability for care delivery. You will also demonstrate professional, specialist expertise and knowledge supporting the team to deliver high quality, evidence based safe care.

The role ensures that staff are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to deliver high-quality, family-centred neonatal care in line with NHS and local standards and policies.
The job requires the post holder to work clinical shifts to maintain currency.
