We have a new strategy for the next decade, emphasising our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to creating a fairer world, and a more prosperous region.

As a university, we are known for our work with mental health service users through our Converge programme, offering education for recovery for adults who use mental health services; and for our Gold Award winning Military Human programmes, enabling people who work with military veterans to understand the experience of combat and its enduring impact on daily life.
Our nursing programmes embrace these humanitarian values and promote a whole person integrative approach; providing an excellent educational experience for compassionate, competent student nurses enabling them to deliver, kind, evidence-informed, person-centred care.
We are seeking an enthusiastic individual to join our nursing team and contribute to our pre-registration BSc Mental Health Nursing programme.

Recent practice experience of secondary care mental health services would be helpful.
