At Robert Gordon University (RGU) we are proud of our excellence in education and research and we are offering an opportunity to join our great team as a Lecturer in Midwifery. RGU is an innovative, inclusive, and ambitious University, focused on the impact of its demand-led teaching and research. Not only were we the Scottish University of the Year in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Awards for 2021 and ranked top modern university in the Complete University Guide, but we also have an impressive array of other awards, including (amongst many others) a Gold Rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework, placing us in the top 20% of the best universities in the UK for the quality of our undergraduate teaching and learning. In addition, the National Student Survey for 2022 places RGU in the top ten for overall satisfaction in the UK (excluding colleges, small, specialist and private institutions).
The School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedic Practice is a vibrant academic community and the main provider of both undergraduate and postgraduate nursing, midwifery and paramedic education in the North of Scotland. Our vision is to transform health and social care in urban, remote and rural areas and our new School Strategy sets out how we will achieve that. As a Lecturer in Midwifery, you will join a motivated team of academics, providing high quality and impactful teaching and learning across the School. With knowledge, experience and skills as well as a degree in a relevant subject, you will be expected to contribute to the wider School portfolio which includes undergraduate and postgraduate Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedic education. As a registered Midwife, you should have excellent communication and teaching skills and be able to motivate and inspire students. All of our education is evidence-based and we encourage curiosity and innovation in our staff to enhance our academic portfolio. Opportunities to undertake or contribute to applied health or educational research are promoted. You may also be able to get involved in the School’s commercialisation activities.
What we can offer you:
- A competitive salary, excellent pension scheme and a generous annual leave allowance.
- An option for hybrid working in line with our HR policy.
- You will be supported to engage in scholarship and research for your professional and personal development.
- We are an equal opportunities employer
- We are committed to the health and wellbeing of our staff and to the sustainability of our environment.
This is a full-time position but we will consider flexible contract types, such as part-time working. Whilst we are focussed on educating the next generation of Nurses, Midwives and Paramedics, we also appreciate the need to retain skills in the health profession, so we may also consider part and full time secondments from your current role.
