This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding academic or practitioner to join a highly professional and motivated team to teach across our nursing programmes. The Three Counties School of Nursing and Midwifery has a reputation for contemporary and innovative Nursing and Midwifery provision, including FdSc Nursing Associate, BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult and Mental Health) and MSc Advanced Clinical Practice Apprenticeships. Our NMC approved programmes are nationally recognised for their high quality, student satisfaction, and sustained high employability of our alumni.
The focus of this post is on the delivery of our pre-registration portfolio, predominantly on the FdSc Nursing Associate and BSc Nursing apprenticeship provision. The successful candidate will work within a dedicated academic team with responsibility for delivering pre-registration apprenticeship courses to satisfy the requirements of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education Standards (IFATE) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
The post holder will be expected to teach a range of core subjects and should have a flexible approach to the subject material they teach. The post holder will, therefore, be committed to promoting academic enquiry, helping develop critical thinking in students by supporting safe, effective and evidence-based practice. By providing expert knowledge, they will lead agreed modules, assess students and supervise projects. The post holder should be able to draw upon his or her own subject knowledge to design teaching sessions that maximise the integration of theory to practice. They will also be able to inspire and motivate apprentices, colleagues and employers and be committed to compliance with the regulatory and quality assurance processes for occupational apprenticeships through collaborative working practices from recruitment through to apprenticeship award.
The Three Counties School of Nursing and Midwifery upholds the University mission to inspire those who teach and those who learn, in an inclusive way, which reflects a collective commitment to equip students and staff with the skills, knowledge and aptitude to make a positive impact on the health of the individuals, populations and communities we serve.
