The Clinical Education Team (CET) is currently recruiting for a Band 7 Clinical Practice Educator to develop within the team. This is a Trust wide position and the successful candidate will deliver education on 3 of Imperial's prestigious hospital sites (St Mary's, Charing Cross and Hammersmith Hospitals).
