Our people
Akunna Iwuagwu, Hearings Manager
“I joined the NMC as a Panel Secretary (now known as Hearings Coordinator) in 2019 and have progressed to the position of a Hearings Manager. These are roles within the Adjudication department which is part of the Professional Regulation directorate. The NMC values of being fair, kind, ambitious and collaborative have always been in line with my personal values.”
“In my role as a Hearings Coordinator, I got to work with a diverse group of people on a daily basis, with a supportive team and managers on hand to assist when needed. That role meant that I lived the NMC values daily and this always gave me a sense of fulfilment. The NMC’s culture is reinforced from the top, with a senior management team in adjudications who are respectful, encouraging, approachable and caring.”
“An opportunity then arose for me to apply for a secondment as a Hearings Manager. I was encouraged by my line manager at the time to apply. I was offered the role and I am now in a permanent position having only worked for the NMC for just over two years. Working for the NMC has provided me the opportunity to progress and apply myself and has given me life-long skills.”
“As a Hearings Manager I like to support my team with their daily work and try to make sure they are managing their wellbeing. I also support and encourage them to apply for development opportunities.”
“The NMC and working in Adjudications is definitely a culture which makes me excited to come to work every day.”
