As a Senior Investigator, you will lead and deliver robust, fair and proportionate investigations into regulatory concerns raised about nurses and midwives. You will gather and analyse evidence to assess whether a registrant is safe to practise and whether their fitness to practise may be impaired, ensuring risks to patients and the public are appropriately identified and managed. You will hold a complex caseload, often involving sensitive issues, multiple parties and competing lines of enquiry. Your work will directly inform key regulatory decisions and contribute to timely, defensible outcomes that protect the public while upholding the rights of those involved. In addition to your own casework, you will play a senior role within the team. You will mentor and coach Investigators, share expertise, and promote consistent, high-quality investigative practice. You will provide managerial support and deputise where required. This role may be required to work as part of our New Ways of Working (NWOW) pilot team, in which you will work directly on live fitness to practise investigations, while also helping to design and refine the future of our casework processes.
