Wrexham Glyndwr University (WGU) is delighted to be in a position to advertise for several Nursing and Allied Health Professions (AHP) Senior Lecturer and Lecturer posts and two Principal Lecturer (Professional Leads), within the Faculty of Social and Life Sciences’ Nursing and Allied Health Professions department. These posts have arisen following a commissioning process conducted by Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW). HEIW have taken the opportunity in partnership with stakeholders, to change the “shape” of education provision in Wales to best meet the needs of all Health Boards and Trusts and develop a cutting edge innovative contract to put Wales at the forefront of Health Professional education.
To ensure that the new contracts (which run from August 2022 with new students commencing education in September 2022) are successfully written, validated by WGU and approved by the relevant professional bodies, we are seeking excellent new team members with the vision, ambition and the ability to translate the needs of service into educational innovations.
You will be committed to contributing to the ongoing development of an accessible and supportive Nursing and Allied Health Professional (AHP) community within which the wellbeing of the people of the region is at the forefront of all we do. This portfolio area is delighted to have achieved 100% staff satisfaction in the 2020 WGU staff survey. Successful candidates will be joining a team who are encouraged and supported to achieve their ambitions and whose valuable experience, perspective and professional autonomy are prized. Successful candidates will be committed to ensuring accessible routes into professional programmes are in place in support of the development of a future workforce who are truly representative of the people of Wales. WGU’s Active Learning Framework (ALF) will form the basis of all curriculum developments. This innovative learning blend helps to ensure that students access their teaching and learning in the ways that are best suited to certain activities. Some aspects, such as clinical skills, are delivered face-to-face, with others delivered online. The online elements are sometimes ‘live’ (synchronous) and sometimes available to be studied flexibly around other commitments (asynchronous).
Successful candidates will build upon existing strong partnerships to work closely with HEIW, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), Powys Teaching Health Board, Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST) and other stakeholders to ensure that the curriculum is closely aligned to service needs. To support the growth in this area as part of its Campus 2025 strategy, WGU have designed a new Health and Innovation Quarter, and will also be delivering from the Regional University Centre St Asaph to further ensure that Central and East BCUHB are accessible to students studying Nursing and AHP programmes.
Part time roles up to 0.6 FTE will be considered. Please indicate this in your application. Welsh Language skills are desirable for this role. For more information please visit: https://jobs.glyndwr.ac.uk/2122477-R
