We are seeking a dedicated and inspiring Lecturer in Nursing to join our team and contribute to the development and delivery of our Health Foundation course, which provides an accessible route into our pre-registration nursing programmes.

This course supports students from diverse backgrounds to develop the academic, personal, and professional skills needed to thrive in degree-level study and, ultimately, in nursing practice.

Working alongside a multidisciplinary academic team, you will teach, assess, and provide pastoral and academic support, ensuring an inclusive and empowering learning experience for all students.

You will also contribute to our pre-registration nursing programmes, helping students continue their journey to becoming a registered nurse, supporting them to further develop the confidence, and compassion required to deliver safe and effective nursing care.

You will be a registered nurse (NMC) with experience in either clinical practice, education, or both, and a passion for supporting learners at the start of their journey into healthcare.

You will bring enthusiasm for teaching and a commitment to inclusive education, widening participation, and student success. Experience in academic skills development, health sciences, or foundation-level teaching would be particularly welcome.

Essential requirements include:

• NMC registration as a nurse or nursing associate (any field of practice)
• Undergraduate Honours Degree in a Nursing related subject
• Commitment to supporting diverse learners and inclusive pedagogy

Desirable attributes:

• Master's degree or higher (or willingness to undertake)
• Experience in teaching or facilitating learning in higher or further education
• Fellowship of Advance HE (or willingness to achieve)
• Experience supporting students transitioning to higher education

How will you work?

We are committed to supporting flexible methods of working wherever possible and this role is Flexible and connected.
