The School of Health at Leeds Beckett University is looking to appoint an External Examiner for our CPD scheme for nurses and allied health professionals. In addition to standalone CPD modules, the scheme offers the following courses:
- MSc Advanced Clinical Practice, a standard course and a degree apprenticeship (integrated End-Point Assessment), which include Non-Medical Prescribing programmes (NMC and HCPC approved).
- BSc (Hons) Health and Community Care level 6 and MSc Health and Community Care, to join one other examiner for CPD modules on these awards.
Information on the courses can be accessed on this link: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/
Applicants must be registered with the NMC, be working in UK HE with experience of teaching and examining at postgraduate level in the subject area, and ideally have some prior experience of degree apprenticeships.
The appointment commences on 1 November 2024 and tenure is for a four year period. External Examiners attend Board of Examiners meetings at least once a year, submit an annual report and review coursework. Previous experience of external examining is not necessary, as the University will provide online induction training and a mentor. Further information on the External Examiner role can be found on this link: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/our-university/public-information/external-examiners/
The appointment is subject to approval by the University’s scrutiny process. The current fee for an External Examiner is £400 per annum plus reasonable expenses. Due to potential reciprocity issues, please note that we are unable to appoint from the following institutions:
- University of Derby
- University of Hull
- University of Stirling
- Teesside University
- Wrexham Glyndwr University
- University of York
