Full Job Description

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. This is an exciting opportunity to influence nursing practice and harness the voice of nursing by developing and utilising effective professional relationships between the RCN and relevant national-level external networks and stakeholders such as statutory agencies, professional bodies, providers and commissioners, independent and third sector organisations and public / patient groups. Your role will be central to the development of the RCN as the voice of Nursing by working alongside colleagues in policy and practice and drive the success of the RCN as a business. You will be required to liaise and communicate with RCN members on all matters relating to Nursing and to be proactive in effective lobbying to ensure the voice of our members and those with lived experience is heard. Nursing Practice is a high priority of the RCN and you lead some national projects so your ability to influence stakeholders and build key external relationships is vital. Through your work and the relationships you develop, you will gain a strategic understanding of nursing at a national level within your area. Alongside involvement in internal and external national networks, you will have the opportunity to work closely with the RCN professional forums and other members to provide professional steer, shape clinical guidance and develop resources to influence a wide spectrum of nursing care for a range of people and populations. Whilst this role will be focused on a particular portfolio of nursing there will be a need to deliver pieces of work that span the breadth of nursing and midwifery. Collaboration with other specialist leads will be essential. To join us you'll need to be an experienced NMC registered nurse with senior clinical experience preferably within advanced practice. You will have post graduate education at master's level. A teaching qualification alongside experience of working at a strategic or national level with multi-professional groups is also desirable.
