Decision Maker

Are you a legal professional looking for a role where you can apply your decision-making skills to really make a difference and help to protect the public? Would you like to become a specialist in the fascinating and evolving area of professional regulatory law, independently working on decisions which are uniquely varied and sometimes high-profile and ensuring fairness and excellence in our decision making? If so, you may be interested in becoming an essential part of our Corporate Review Team.

Decision Makers play a leading role by making independent decisions which stand up to scrutiny within the context of protecting the public and maintaining public confidence in the professions which the GMC regulates. Our Decision Makers work across a range of responsibilities, including:

• Independently making written decisions considering whether to reopen cases closed by our fitness to practise team
• Analysing complex evidence and exercising judgement in referencing the evidence
• Supporting the implementation of our corporate priorities such as regulatory reform and regulatory fairness

We are looking for someone with excellent analytical skills and attention to detail with the ability to make objective, well-reasoned decisions in line with legislation, guidance, policies and procedures. And the ability to communicate these decisions in writing, compassionately and sensitively, taking into account the needs of the individual customer.

The role is home based, but you will need to attend team and other occasional meetings in the Manchester or London offices. The initial training period may involve occasional attendance at a GMC office, predominantly in Manchester.

You can find more detail on the tasks you will undertake, and the essential skills required for the role, in the job description.

We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK. We set the standards doctors, PAs, AAs and their educators need to meet, and help them achieve them. If there are concerns these standards may not be met or that public confidence in doctors, PAs, or AAs may be at risk, we can investigate and take action if needed.

You will benefit from being part of an organisation that is genuinely committed to its people with several excellent benefits including:

• 30 days holiday (pro-rata) with the option to buy and sell more
• A generous employer pension contribution of 15%
• Access to a range of learning and development opportunities designed to support your ongoing progression
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Attractive salary that’s reviewed annually
• Private medical insurance
• Bike lockers and shower facilities

We are happy to consider a range of flexible working options. Flexible working requests will be considered in line with the policy.

Diversity and inclusion: The GMC values diversity and has made a public commitment to processes and procedures that are fair, objective, transparent, and free from discrimination. We are committed to the Disability Confident employer scheme and support its principles. However, please note that although we are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion, the Disability Confident interview scheme will not be applied for this role on this occasion.
