Functional Consultant
Our vision is for safe and effective nursing and midwifery practice across the four countries of the UK – regulated and supported by the NMC – a fit for the future organisation, with fairness and equity at the heart of everything we do.
Our role is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions. As the largest independent regulator in Europe of more than 860,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have a crucial role in making this a reality.
We do this by setting and promoting high education and professional standards for all future and registered nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England.
We also ensure every nurse, midwife and nursing associate on our Register meets clear standards of conduct and practice which protects the public and the reputation of our professions.
We have a duty to investigate concerns and to take steps to protect the public in the relatively rare instances where we need to limit or restrict a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s right to practise.
We are building a new NMC with integrity, fairness, respect, equity and effectiveness at its core.
We are determined to improve and modernise our culture and ways of working. This will ensure that the public and professionals feel confident in our work.
About the team and what we do
The Digital Services Team sits within the NMC’s Information Technology department and delivers the digital platforms and services that enable the organisation to carry out its regulatory role effectively. We work closely with colleagues across the business to design and improve systems that are secure, scalable and centred around user needs.
This role sits within the Power Platform capability and works closely with enterprise architecture, infrastructure, business analysts, development and data teams. You’ll play a key part in shaping how Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 are used across the NMC, contributing to both large transformation programmes and ongoing continuous improvement initiatives.
Our team values collaboration, quality and learning, and we take pride in designing solutions that deliver real business value while aligning with the NMC’s strategic priorities.
In this role, you’ll bridge business needs with technical solutions, translating complex requirements into clear, high-quality functional designs on the Microsoft Power Platform. You’ll lead on requirements gathering, working directly with stakeholders to understand business processes, identify opportunities for improvement and shape solutions that make a tangible difference to how teams work.
You’ll design and configure solutions using Power Apps (Model-driven and Canvas), Power Automate, Power Pages and Dataverse, working closely with solution and technical architects and developers throughout the delivery lifecycle. From initial concept through to testing, user acceptance and go-live, you’ll provide functional expertise and guidance to ensure solutions are effective, scalable and fit for purpose.
A key part of your impact will be setting standards for functional design, championing best practice and quality across both agile and waterfall delivery. Through your work, you’ll help ensure that Power Platform solutions are consistent, reusable and aligned with enterprise architecture and governance.
You’ll bring strong experience with Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365, along with the ability to analyse business processes and turn them into well-designed, user-focused solutions. You’re comfortable working across functional and technical boundaries and can communicate confidently with both business stakeholders and delivery teams.
You’ll have a proactive, improvement-focused mindset, always looking for ways to simplify, streamline and enhance how solutions are designed and delivered. You’re organised, adaptable and able to navigate ambiguity, balancing competing views while keeping outcomes and quality firmly in focus.
Above all, you’ll bring a collaborative approach and a commitment to learning and sharing knowledge, helping to strengthen capability across the organisation while contributing to solutions that support the NMC’s purpose and values.
