Are you passionate about teaching?
Do you have a desire to work with international nurses who are new to the UK?
This role is a permenant post for a band 5 OSCE trainer. The NMC OSCE training is a successful training program which runs with a new cohort of overseas nurses every three weeks. This program is designed to deliver both practical and theoretical training sessions in a bespoke environment at the Nightingale hospital to international nurses new to the NHS to equip them with the skills needed to pass their NMC exam and gain their nursing registration. The training covers several sessions which will use both theoretical and practical teaching relating to nursing practice including professional values, catheterisation, ANTT and APIE.
