Professional Standards Education Officer (PSEO)
£24,000 pa plus excellent benefits (£40,000 FTE)
Part-time, 3 days per week
Hybrid - mostly online working from home 
 

Are you an experienced acupuncture practitioner interested in joining the BAcC staff team in a key role that will help protect both practising acupuncturists and the public?

The Professional Standards Education Officer (PSEO) will be at the forefront of supporting BAcC members to work safely and manage the risks of their practice. You will also have a great positive impact on public protection and fostering trust across UK and global institutions in the practice of acupuncture.

This will be a varied role, involving all stages of developing and updating policy and communicating it to the membership. You will work as part of our wonderful team, alongside our Safe Practice Officer, Research and Policy Manager, and our Professional Conduct Officers. You will also act as a link with the BAcC’s insurer in-house risk and legal support and connect to professionals across other UK healthcare regulators.

As the Secretary to the Education Committee, you will support the BAcC’s newly integrated education and accreditation function and assist the Chair and committee in guiding the future of acupuncture accreditation in the UK.

It is anticipated that your time will be split approximately two days per week in the risk management and safe practice support role, and one day per week in the education support role. These two functions have great synergy; you will facilitate the key connection between the BAcC and college accreditation by transmitting risk mitigation strategies and taking college feedback on new risks to update policy.

The work will be varied and interesting and, most importantly, you will be able to make a huge and tangible difference to the community. It is an exciting time right now at the BAcC as we are transforming the way we work. We are moving from a passive repository of safe practice information to an evolving, active support service for members where they need it most. The work you do in this role will not only help other acupuncturists navigate difficult situations and avoid complaints, but it will enable them to be fully protected in the rare event that a claim or complaint comes in.

We seek candidates with:

Essential skills 

· strong written communication skills to simplify complex risk information and produce engaging content

· the ability to work independently, prioritise workload, and manage your own schedule in a mostly home-based role

Desirable skills

· experience in the provision of education at QAA level 6 or higher (including teaching or college administration)

· first-hand experience as a practitioner of acupuncture

Please see the attached Candidate Pack for the full job description.

Closing date: 12pm on 7 April 2026
Interviews will be held on 23 April 2026
