Lecturer – Adult Nursing (Advanced Clinical Assessment)

Lecturer in Advanced Clinical Practice

We are seeking to recruit a committed individual, with advanced clinical practitioner experience, who would value the opportunity to be involved in the education of the next generation of advanced clinical practitioners and contribute to post-registration education.

Applicants must be an experienced advanced clinical practitioner, NMC or HCPC registrant, who wishes to develop their career to provide high quality and innovative teaching to students in undertaking undergraduate and postgraduate education in the Centre for Rural Health Science.

Ideally applicants should have experience of teaching and learning of pre- and post-registration students. Experience of delivering academic education and a recognised teaching qualification is desirable, but not essential.

The successful candidate will join a team committed to enhancing education of nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (NMAHPs) across the Highland and Islands and further afield. This is an academic post within the Centre for Rural Health Sciences, which is part of a wider established academic team, involving NMAHP education, research and pedagogical activity.

The University offers academic and professional development and the opportunity to undertake a Postgraduate Certificate Teaching Qualification for individuals who do not hold a recognised teaching qualification. You will be supported to develop your interests in order to progress your career.

Applicants from those interested in secondment or job share opportunities are welcome.

The Centre for Rural Health Sciences is part of the university’s Health, Social Care and Life Sciences subject area that brings together all health researchers and related teaching at UHI.

Based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, we have a campus in Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, and in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. We provide accessible, evidence informed education for nurses and other health and social care professionals, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, and are committed to supporting our students to make a significant contribution to the care of patients and the public.

We foster a strong research community locally and build research collaborations nationally and internationally in order to conduct high quality applied research that improves health and wellbeing within the Highlands and Islands and addressing key health questions relevant to Scotland and beyond.

We have expertise in developing novel interventions and evaluating existing health and social care services and have highly experienced researchers and behavioural scientists.
