Lecturer - Nursing

The School of Health & Social Care at Edinburgh Napier University is a vibrant academic community for over 3,400 students and 140 staff. Our strategic aim is to make an enduring impact on health, care and society in Scotland and beyond and we do that through the provision of high-quality programmes of education as well as research / knowledge exchange.

We are the only university in Scotland that provides undergraduate and postgraduate education for nursing (all fields of practice), midwifery and allied health professions. We also have an extensive portfolio of transnational education and global online programmes.

Currently, we are offering an opportunity to join our fantastic team as a Lecturer in Adult Nursing, predominantly supporting delivery of the University’s Transnational Education (TNE) commitments overseas. The role holder will be required to travel overseas at various points in the year to complete teaching and assessment commitments with our partners overseas.

The Role:

As a Lecturer in Adult Nursing, you will have the opportunity to use your experience and passion to develop professional graduates of the future through the effective delivery of learning, teaching, research and knowledge exchange.

You will have the chance to use your knowledge and expertise to deliver effective teaching and mentorship, as well as the opportunity to translate relevant professional practice (including research) into comprehensive and engaging curricula that will prepare and inspire the next generation of nurses.

Although the role will mainly focus on the TNE provision in Southeast Asia where you will be required to travel to, there will be opportunity for you to contribute to online and on-campus nursing programmes also.

We anticipate that best practice will be of the highest priority to you, so you will also have remit to build and complement our commitment to knowledge exchange e.g. through the development of continuous professional development courses, as well as to support the creation of strategic partnerships.

Your passion for the development of the nursing profession and preparing future nurses will also be welcomed, as we invite you to contribute to our interdisciplinary partnerships in research, teaching and practice.

Furthermore, you will be joining a team of motivated, approachable, and professional people, committed to their discipline. We have a good sense of camaraderie including expectations about supporting each other through partnership working, a commitment to stewardship, and a focus on building our careers together, aligned to and with organisational objectives.

What we will need from you:

• Masters level qualification in Nursing
• NMC Registration in Adult Nursing and recent clinical experience in acute care nursing.
• A commitment to overseas travel
• Profile that demonstrates at least national standing and some international engagement
• A passion for teaching, learning and personal/professional development
