Professional Officer

NMBI is currently recruiting for a Professional Officer.

The Professional Officer - Education, Policy and Standards is a senior regulatory role within the Education, Policy and Standards Directorate. The post holder is responsible for the development, implementation, approval and ongoing monitoring of education standards, regulatory policy and professional guidance for nurses and midwives, across: 

• Pre‑registration and post‑registration education leading to registration;
• Additional registration, specialist and advanced practice pathways;
• Non‑registration education, credentialing and annotation frameworks.
