Paediatric HDU Clinical Practice Educator

As our Paediatric High Dependency Practice Educator, you will work closely with the Senior Nursing Team, Ward Managers, and Learning & Development colleagues to ensure our staff receive high‑quality, hands‑on clinical education. You will be visible on the shop floor, actively supporting staff with real‑time guidance, structured on‑the‑job teaching, and skills development in the paediatric high dependency environment.

Your work will directly contribute to strengthening the capability of the team, improving patient experience, and supporting safe, effective care delivery.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• A registered children’s nurse with significant experience in paediatric high dependency or acute paediatric care
• Passionate about education, mentoring, and supporting others to grow
• Approachable, patient, and confident working alongside staff in busy clinical environments
• An excellent communicator who can inspire and motivate colleagues
• Committed to maintaining high standards of care and promoting continuous improvement
• Enthusiastic about developing safe, skilled paediatric clinicians

A teaching/mentorship qualification and previous experience in an education or supervisory role are desirable but not essential—we welcome applicants who bring passion and the right attitude, and we will support your development.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide bedside clinical teaching, coaching, and support to nurses working within the paediatric high dependency pathway
• Facilitate the development of competence in managing acutely unwell children and those requiring enhanced monitoring
• Support staff through formal and informal learning: simulations, skills sessions, competency sign‑off, and reflective practice
• Promote a positive learning culture that empowers staff and builds confidence
• Assist with identifying learning needs and developing structured training plans
• Ensure best practice, guidelines, and quality standards are embedded in day‑to‑day clinical care
• Contribute to service development and education initiatives that enhance safety and quality
• Support new starters, student nurses, and internationally educated nurses as they transition into practice
