Job overview
We are seeking a motivated and experienced Clinical Educator to join our dynamic education team. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who is passionate about supporting staff development and committed to enhancing the quality of care in the perioperative environment.
As a Clinical Educator, you will be responsible for leading and supporting the educational journey of staff across scrub and anaesthetic practice. You will play a key role in the onboarding, training, and continued professional development of theatre practitioners, ensuring that education is tailored, relevant, and delivered effectively. Working closely with the Clinical Education Lead for Theatres, you will help shape and deliver an education strategy that supports safe, competent, and confident practice.
