The International Nurse Educator role will include working outside normal working hours to deliver education within overseas projects as required.

The role requires clinical sexual and reproductive health knowledge, skills and experience, sound clinical judgment, excellent communication and negotiation skills and an ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
