Director of Nurse Education, Full time

We are seeking to recruit a Director of Nurse Education to lead a vibrant and creative community in the School of Life and Health Sciences at the University of Roehampton. This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in the provision of Nurse Education with the University. Come and be part of our rapidly growing, but supportive and collegiate, healthcare education team.

We are seeking applications from highly motivated candidates who have a proven track record in leading Nurse education. We are keen to hear from senior nursing academics who have a clear understanding of the contemporary issues facing the sector. Our innovative nursing programmes have a community/primary care focus, so knowledge of these areas is an advantage.

The School of Life and Health Sciences at the University of Roehampton is a relatively new provider of nurse education but has quickly established a reputation for quality and innovation. We offer degrees in Adult, Mental Health, Children’s Nursing and also a dual field integrated Masters in Adult and Mental Health Nursing. We recently started the Nurse Associate apprenticeship in partnership with local employers. Post-graduate Physiotherapy and Advanced Clinical Practice are also currently in development. We have campuses at the main Roehampton site and also at Croydon University Centre. We have three state-of-the-art clinical simulation centres, including our recently opened £3m Office for Students-funded Mary Seacole Health Innovation Centre. We have been commended by Health Education England for shifting the focus of healthcare education to better meet the needs of the future healthcare workforce.

At Roehampton, we help our students to develop the confidence, knowledge and adaptability they need for a successful graduate career and fulfilling life. We are a supportive, close-knit and inclusive community, with a proud history in education stretching back more than 175 years. We were the first UK institution to offer higher education to women. Our values come from this rich history, built on community, engagement and partnership, with a belief that no matter their background, we can help our students realise their ambitions.

We are based on a beautiful 64-acre parkland campus, with excellent facilities. Choosing to work with us means we will support your career trajectory. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package comprising of generous annual leave, membership of a defined benefit pension scheme and a hybrid and flexible working environment together with generous family friendly policies.
