Lecturer Children's Nursing

We are the University of Cumbria, for and from Cumbria and our localities, rooted in serving our communities, with people, place and partnership at our heart. We are delivering a new 'Towards 2030' strategic plan focused on making the most of our three most valuable assets — People, Place and Partnerships — to become a catalyst for economic well-being for our region, nationally and internationally.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Lecturer in Children's Nursing to join our dynamic academic team. This is an exciting opportunity for a registered nurse with a passion for teaching, scholarship, and student success to contribute to the development of the next generation of nursing professionals.

As a Lecturer in Nursing, you will:

- Deliver engaging teaching in a range of settings including lectures, seminars and skills sessions
- Contribute to module leadership and curriculum development
- Support students through academic supervision, assessment and pastoral care
- Supervise student projects and practice learning where appropriate
- Contribute to scholarly activity and the development of evidence-informed teaching
- Work collaboratively with colleagues and healthcare partners
- Participate in recruitment activities such as open days and applicant interviews

You will play an important role in creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment that inspires students and prepares them for contemporary nursing practice.

You will be a registrant with the NMC in Children's Nursing and be passionate about nursing education and committed to delivering an excellent student experience. You will be expected to actively engage with professional research, knowledge exchange and scholarship to support teaching activities and extend, transform and apply knowledge acquired from scholarship and research to teaching.

As well as the requisite academic and technical skills, the post holder will be required to evidence their ability to work as part of a team demonstrating skills in project and time management and a passion for teaching and learning.

Although desirable, prior experience of teaching in higher education is not essential. For those new to HE teaching, the University offers a PgC in Learning and Teaching for Higher Education. Academic staff are expected to achieve Advance HE Fellowship within three years of appointment if not already held.

At the University of Cumbria, our values of being Personal, Progressive and Engaged shape everything we do. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where staff and students can thrive and where diverse perspectives are welcomed.

The University offers an attractive benefits package including 35 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, 25 research and scholarly activity days, support for professional development, support to achieve Higher Education Academy/Advance HE accreditation, mentor provision in the first year of employment and opportunity for career development.
