4th February 2026

Portfolio Analyst

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 Portfolio Analyst role sits within the Portfolio Management Office, which sets the standards for how projects and programmes are managed at the NMC, and provides the governance structures that support the organisation to invest in the most effective projects and programmes to maximise benefits for the organisation and the nurses and midwifes we regulate.

We are committed to build a culture encouraging collaboration, fairness, and inclusivity. We encourage applicants from different backgrounds, knowing that within the team and in the broader Resources and Technology Services (RTS) directorate, we will provide support and learning and development opportunities to enable colleagues to realise their potential.

The post holder will maintain the single source of truth of the portfolio and provide valuable insights and intelligence to support business planning and ensure that benefits, dependencies and risks are balanced.
