We are seeking to appoint an external examiner predominantly for BSc Nursing (Learning Disability) which is a long standing programme running at the University of Huddersfield. On completion, students are eligible for registration with Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
As the course is largely integrated, external examiners may be expected to undertake some work across the fields. Field-specific modules will be allocated to external examiners from that field. There is also an inter-professional learning strand throughout, with opportunity to examine work across other professions.
External examiners will be required to contribute to the assessment process, moderate and report on student work, visit practice placements, attend Course Assessment Boards, submit an annual report and sign off the Course Leader’s response to the report.
Appointees will have relevant field-related experience, academic qualifications to postgraduate level, including a recordable teaching qualification and will be registered with NMC. Although previous experience as an external examiner is desirable, the School will make arrangements for new external examiners to have a mentor, where needed. An induction programme is provided for external examiners.
The post is due to commence in September 2025. All appointments are for a period of four years.
In the first instance would interested applicants please email a brief outline, including their CV to:
