The Department of Health Sciences at the University of York is a large and multidisciplinary department, offering a broad range of educational programmes in the health and social care field. We are seeking to appoint a replacement external examiner for the Department’s undergraduate pre-registration nursing programme (Stage 1 modules).
External examiners are required to review and evaluate assessment marking; be a member of the Board of Examiners and attend meetings; comment and give advice on programme content, balance and structure; and to complete an annual report as part of the University of York’s quality assurance mechanisms. The University requires external examiners to attend a minimum of one examination board per year.
The role-holder will also have responsibility for the completing cohort on the Postgraduate Diploma with Professional Registration in Nursing, who are due to finish in March 2020.
All appointments are subject to meeting the University’s criteria for the appointment of external examiners.
Successful applicants would be appointed with effect from October 2019 for a term of four academic years, and would join a supportive team of external examiners.
