About the role

Are you a registered children's nurse interesting in teaching clinical sills to nursing students?



We are looking to appoint an appropriately qualified and experienced children's nurse to join our well-established Child Health Nursing team in the Clinical Simulation Facilities to support the clinical development of Child Health Nursing at the University. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a progressive and cutting-edge University in a beautiful location, where you can really make a difference. The role entails small group teaching in the clinical skills facility across all year groups in the pre-registration nursing curriculum. As well as an opportunity to be involved in the delivery of clinical skills for post-graduate students.



Based in the Faculty of Health, the School of Nursing and Midwifery programmes in the fields of adult, child and mental health nursing and in midwifery have been designed with our students' career and the future needs of the workforce in mind. The School works in partnership with local NHS trusts to drive forward clinical research and support students in their learning to become the best nurses and midwives they can be.



InterCity Place is the first-class new home for our healthcare teaching and research providing students with skills to meet the needs of 21st century careers. The School offers a unique interdisciplinary learning environment, where students from the largest breadth of healthcare disciplines in the South West can benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, maximising their potential, developing core skills, and preparing them to embark on exciting and rewarding careers. The School offers further support for student career and professional development in the areas of healthcare, surgical care practice, emergency care and general practice nursing.



An interdisciplinary approach to research covers sustainability, the evolution of services, use of new genetic knowledge and technologies, the ageing population, use of internet and mobile technologies, changes in clinical education, contemporary nursing, and how knowledge is translated into practice and policy.



You must possess current registration as a Children's Nurse with the NMC, in addition to relevant post registration experience as a nurse, a degree in health or a related subject, relevant postgraduate qualifications and a teaching qualification (or be willing to work to achieve this). You will have proven ability in teaching, mentoring and coaching learners in clinical practice or in the clinical simulation setting. You will be familiar with clinical simulation technology and be prepared to further develop and facilitate the innovative simulation-based learning within the School of Nursing and Midwifery in line with NMC SSSA requirements.
