We are proud of our commitment to fostering an inclusive teaching environment and widening access to higher education studies for students from diverse backgrounds. As Programme Leader, you will have a unique opportunity to develop the design, delivery and evaluation of the learning disabilities nursing curriculum and be involved in teaching across the entire nursing portfolio, enabling our students to have a clear vision of the future Nurse, contributing to safe person-centred care and to meet the NMC Future Nurse Standards for registration.
As Programme leader you will have significant teaching/practice experience and to be able to demonstrate a successful track record of innovative curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment strategies and research related activity. You will have a high level of insight into contemporary community, primary, acute, or urgent care practice as well as experience in healthcare leadership, medicines management, clinical skills, simulation, and practice-based education. Knowledge of contemporary theories and concepts that underpin learning disabilities nursing education is essential. You will be committed to co-production in designing and delivering interprofessional education for the benefit of our students, partners, and the public.
