About The Role
This is a Permanent one-day (7 hours) role.
The Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science draws together the disciplines of health, nursing, midwifery, osteopathy, social care, social policy and psychology and is the largest provider of health care education in Wales, providing an exciting and dynamic environment in which to study and further an academic or professional career. With 20 professorial staff, the Faculty’s mission is to conduct high-quality international research that meets the needs of the people of south-west Wales and beyond.
The Department of Nursing is a progressive, dynamic and aspirational part of the School of Health and Social Care. Our goal is to provide the highest quality national and internationally recognised nursing education, research, and innovation. Nursing at Swansea University is ranked first in Wales and 7th in the UK.
To deliver its sustainable top 30 position, Swansea University is seeking to appoint a Lecturer with excellence in teaching in the Department of Nursing. The successful candidate will make a substantive contribution to the teaching of mental health nursing within the Department, as well as a contribution to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and supervision across the School. In addition to sharing organisational and academic administrative responsibilities, the appointee will also be expected to work closely with clinical colleagues in Local Health Boards to support students during clinical learning experiences.
The work of the post-holder will primarily involve students undertaking the pre-registration nursing programme, and will involve contributions to teaching for adult, child and mental health nursing students. It is also anticipated that input into post-registration curricula and development of existing curricula within the nursing health field will be required both within and outside the Department of Nursing.
The pathway for this post is Education. The Academic Career Pathways (ACP) scheme is designed to ensure that academic strengths whether in research, teaching, the wider student experience, leadership or innovation and engagement, are all appropriately recognised, developed, valued, and rewarded.
