We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care.

In collaboration with colleagues across the College you’ll help ensure the RCN delivers the right change, at the right time, for the right reasons. As well as an inquisitive and analytical mind, you’ll have an in-depth knowledge and experience of supporting organisations to deliver change. You’ll be skilled in selecting developing and selecting the right tools, techniques and methods to articulate need and solve problems. Comfortable working with autonomy, you will engage varied stakeholders across the organisation to translate complex information and varied need into tangible understanding and actionable insight. With excellent documentation and communication skills, you will have proven experience in productively challenging understanding and clarifying aspirations for improvement.
