The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic individual looking for a new challenge based within the university sector. This opportunity would suit a candidate who enjoys an active and engaging role, working closely with our students and practitioners within our BSc (Hons) Nursing (Child) course.

The School of Nursing brings together Adult, Child, Mental Health and Learning Disability Nursing, into one vibrant and dynamic community. Our aim is to provide a high-quality learning experience for our students to enable them to realise their ambitions to become registered professionals and to continue their development through a range of continuing professional development opportunities. We are committed to providing a supportive environment for our students so they can develop the knowledge and skills to provide nursing care that is person-centred, compassionate, safe and effective.

The School is seeking to appoint Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer in Child Nursing to teach various aspects of Children’s nursing and contribute to other areas of work within the School and wider Faculty depending on expertise. Recent clinical experience in complex care, CAMHS or simulated practice learning would be highly desirable. 

You will be committed to high quality, evidence-based learning and teaching and be able to facilitate learning of a broad range of Child nursing principles, take on the role of personal academic tutor and academic assessor.  You will be expected to contribute to modules in the BSc Nursing (Child) and you may also teach on foundation year and postgraduate modules related to your own expertise. You will also provide support to students during periods of practice placements.  An under-pinning principle of our work is the importance of the student experience and we would expect you to share this value and work in ways that will enhance it.

The post holder is required to be current on the NMC register as a Children’s nurse and will be expected to have a minimum of a first degree in a relevant discipline.
