We have some great opportunities for Investigators within our Professional Regulation directorate.

You will have an important role in helping the NMC ensure it fulfils its statutory obligation to protect the public.

You'll have responsibility for investigating, and reporting on, regulatory concerns raised about nurses and midwives. In your role you will gather and analyse information in order to assess whether a nurse or midwife is safe to practise and if they pose any risk to patients in their care.

You will have the ability to remain patient and resilient when dealing with and responding to changeable circumstances. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills. You will be empathetic and an ambassador for the NMC in all your interactions.
