Education & Training Lead Nurse

As an Education and Training Lead Nurse within NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), you'll play a vital role in developing and supporting the nursing workforce within Therapeutic Apheresis Services.

You will lead the design and delivery of education, training and professional development activities that help nurses provide safe, high-quality care and maintain professional standards.

Working closely with colleagues across NHSBT, you'll review and enhance learning programmes, support continuing professional development, oversee competency and revalidation processes, and help ensure practice reflects current standards and evidence.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to patient care while helping nurses learn, grow and progress throughout their careers.

Main duties of the job

• Lead and improve education and training programmes that help nurses develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to deliver high-quality care.
• Support new starters through effective induction, competency assessment and ongoing development opportunities.
• Deliver practical training, educational events and continuing professional development activities that encourage lifelong learning.
• Work with colleagues across NHSBT and external partners to share expertise, develop learning opportunities and promote best practice.
• Provide expert advice and guidance to support safe, effective therapeutic apheresis practice.
• Help shape professional standards and create a positive learning culture that supports quality improvement and clinical excellence.
• Assess training needs and develop learning resources that respond to changing service requirements and professional standards.
• Support nurses with professional development, peer revalidation and compliance with mandatory training requirements.
• Promote evidence-based practice by working with colleagues to evaluate training outcomes and support audit and governance activities.
