The Department of Nursing and Community Health is seeking to appoint an External Examiner for the following programme:

1. BSc/BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies (Mental Health) – 1 post
This is a large pre-registration nursing programme that offers three pathways. All three pathways require full-time study and, on successful completion, each lead to professional registration on Sub-Part 1 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council register as a nurse in the fields of either Adult, Child, Learning Disabilities or Mental Health. The programmes currently adhere to the NMC 2018 education standards.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified academic staff that will have experience of managing and assessing students on similar programmes. Experience of external examining would be an advantage but is not essential.

As an External Examiner you will be responsible for the external moderation of a range of modules and will be invited to review a selection of scripts and comment on assessment content. You would be expected to attend two Assessment Boards and submit a written report each year.

The period of tenure is for four years and will commence September 2026 with an option to extend to five years if mutually agreeable.

All External Examiner appointments are subject to approval by the University. The University offers support for newly appointed external examiners.
