External Examiners for MSci Social Work (undergraduate) and MSc Social Work (postgraduate)
Description: We are seeking to appoint two external examiners for our Social Work provision, one will work predominantly on our 4-year integrated Master’s programme (undergraduate programme) and one will work on our 2-year Master’s programme (postgraduate). On completion of these programmes, students are eligible to apply for registration with Social Work England. This programme is located within the Division of Social Work, Social Care and Housing.
External examiners will be required to contribute to the assessment process, moderate and report on student work, including 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 Social Work England. 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 October 2024. All appointments are for a period of four years.
