Education Services Officer - Adult Nursing Placements

We're looking for an organised, people-focused professional to lead placement administration for our Adult Nursing students. You'll make sure every student starts practice ready, in the right setting, on time.

You'll join a supportive, experienced team doing work that directly shapes the next generation of nurses.

The Professional Placements Team organises practice placements for students on professionally accredited programmes. As our Adult Nursing lead, you'll own the placement process from start to finish. You'll work with academic staff, healthcare partners and students to keep placements running smoothly and meet professional requirements.

You'll work closely with two Education Services Administrators, coordinating the team's placement tasks and sharing your knowledge so that deadlines are met and students and partners get a consistent service.

What you'll do:

- Plan, allocate and manage Adult Nursing placements across the academic year
- Work with NHS Trusts, other placement providers and partner universities to secure and manage placement capacity
- Act as the expert user of our placement systems, such as InPlace and PARE, keeping data accurate and up to date
- Make sure students complete pre-placement requirements, including Occupational Health clearance and mandatory training
- Be the main point of contact for students, academic staff and practice partners, giving clear and authoritative advice
- Produce reports and management information that help the team make decisions
- Help improve our processes, policies and systems, and support colleagues across the team when needed

What you'll bring:

- A degree or equivalent professional experience
- Experience of managing several projects or workstreams at once and meeting tight deadlines
- Confidence using business systems and data, including Microsoft Excel, to produce accurate reports
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the tact to build strong relationships at all levels, inside and outside the University
- Strong attention to detail and a practical approach to solving problems
- The flexibility to work occasional evenings or weekends

Experience of healthcare or nursing placements, or of a relevant professional qualification, would be an advantage but isn't essential. Full training on systems will be provided.

Benefits:

- 25 days leave plus Christmas closure and bank holidays (extra 5 days after 5 years of service)
- Travel loan
- Wellbeing platform
- Life insurance
- Access to campus facilities
- Enhanced parental leave
- High-quality guaranteed pension
- Hybrid working opportunities
