Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing

To support and enable our staff to achieve a balance between work and their personal lives, we are offering full and part time opportunities and will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.

Our University offers excellent staff development opportunities including a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education and potentially PhD/research options, with alignment to our Research Centres.

About You

We are seeking an experienced nurse academic to contribute to our nursing and wider health and social care programmes. You will bring educational experience from a university setting, and a track record of innovation and leadership in professional practice. We welcome applicants interested in combining an academic role with clinical practice and can consider fractional posts alongside your current employer.

A key attribute will be your ability to work flexibly across our undergraduate and postgraduate nursing programmes (pre-registration and CPD), where your insight into contemporary practice (clinical and educational), will enhance student experience and learning. You will be a highly motivated individual who brings strength in education, research and practice. Above all, we are looking for people who share our passion for high-quality student centred nursing education and have a strong vision for how the integration of education, practice and research can transform health care.

If this is you, we would be pleased to hear from you. For an informal discussion please contact: Professor Sue Green, Interim Head of School (email [email protected]).
