The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) is inviting applications from registered nurses and midwives to participate in site inspections of Education Bodies (EB) and the Associated Health Care Providers (AHCP). Our inspection team consists of both academic and clinical nursing and midwifery staff.

NMBI has a statutory responsibility to approve Education Bodies (EB) and Associated Health Care Providers (AHCP) in respect of educational programmes leading to registration as a nurse or midwife. Site inspections will involve reviews of pre-registration and post-registration specialist programmes.

Candidates from the NMBI Register who meet the criteria outlined below are invited to apply.

Criteria:

• Experience in the education of nursing and midwifery student learners from an academic or clinical setting
• No more than 3 years out of education or practice involving student learners
• Endorsed by their employer to be released from their duties to undertake NMBI site inspection
• Commitment of at least 5 days per site inspection as the minimum requirement (1 day pre-reading/preparation, 2 days for the virtual EB inspection and 2 days for the onsite AHCP inspection)

We welcome applicants from all divisions of the Register. Previous experience in audit and inspection is desirable but not essential as training will be provided to the successful applicants.

To apply, please complete the short application form and return it by email to Claire Nolan, at cnolan@nmbi.ie by Monday, 28 February 2022. You may be called for a short suitability interview and references may be requested.
