About you

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

You will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual who can demonstrate a high level of integrity, confidence and professionalism.

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.

Career possibilities and development opportunities

We are committed to get the very best out of our staff and support staff in their career aspirations. We have career pathways available, where you will be able to develop your skills and build on your experience to progress into other roles across different specialties.

When our investigators have developed their knowledge and experience in the role, there are opportunities for them to apply for Senior Investigator roles and to handle more complex casework as well as providing some supervision to their team and assistance to their manager. This gives colleagues exposure to management and the chance to acquire some additional skills which can lead to management positions.

In addition to a complete induction, we offer ongoing training and development on the technical and soft skills and knowledge you will need to do the role. The NMC also provides opportunities for you to receive mentoring, shadow colleagues in other departments and apply for secondments and other job opportunities across the organisation

**Please note that both fixed-term and permanent opportunities are available**
