Practice Educator - Band 7
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Practice Educator will support the planning, delivery and evaluation of clinical education across United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust. The role is likely to involve supervising learners, coaching qualified staff, assessing competence, maintaining education standards and working with universities and clinical teams. Candidates should normally be registered healthcare professionals with substantial post-registration experience, relevant teaching or practice-education qualifications, and strong knowledge of clinical governance and professional standards. Excellent communication, organisation and presentation skills are expected, together with the ability to mentor others, manage competing priorities and promote safe, inclusive, evidence-based practice. Experience supporting students or newly qualified staff in an NHS or similar healthcare environment would be advantageous.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
