Our expertise
Jules Bevis
Head of QIClearn
As Head of QIClearn, I lead the design and development and ongoing improvement of programmes for QIClearn. I share the vision and commitment of QIClearn to create opportunities that increase the translation of knowledge into practice (from knowing to doing). In this way we are able to increase learner satisfaction as well as organisational returns from investment in training. In care environments we can also observe the impact on the delivery of care.
I bring 5 years experience working on complex learning and development, communications and organisational change programmes across a range of technical environments including aviation, pharmaceuticals, and publishing. A design thinker and specialist in adult development, I create blended programmes that put learner engagement and agency at the centre. I am an accredited psychometric practitioner, have a postgraduate certificate in leadership coaching and an award winning BA Honours in Media.
