About LJMU

At Liverpool John Moores University, our students thrive because of the people who teach, guide, and inspire them, we truly make a difference. Every year, our commitment to exceptional education attracts talented students from across the UK and the world. This growth is fuelled by inspirational academics, professionals who bring vision, passion, and expertise to their disciplines.

Driven by our continued growth in student numbers and our commitment to delivering outstanding learning, teaching, and research opportunities for our students, we are expanding our academic community. As part of this growth, we are creating a number of key academic positions that will play an integral role in shaping our university's next chapter.

About the School of Nursing, Public and Allied Health

The School of Nursing, Public and Allied Health has been committed to advancing developments in health and social care for over 25 years, tracing our origins back to 1991 when the Liverpool School of Nursing and Midwifery joined with Liverpool Polytechnic. Today, we continue to strive to tackle health inequalities, social exclusion, and deprivation in local communities (and beyond) through our undergraduate and postgraduate curricula and a growing programme of international partnerships as well as providing both aspiring and experienced nursing and allied health professionals with the learning experiences and research opportunities needed to meet the demands of current and future healthcare landscapes.

We are a multi award-winning school, having won the Student Nursing Times Awards on three occasions since 2018.

What we're looking for

Are you passionate about shaping the future of healthcare professionals? We are looking for enthusiastic Clinical Skills Tutors to make a contribution to our School of Nursing, Public and Allied Health.

Our school has recently opened a state-of-the-art, newly refurbished practice simulation building, designed to transform healthcare education. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering innovative, simulation-based learning experiences that prepare students for real‑world challenges.

In this role, you will contribute to the development, delivery, and evaluation of clinical skills teaching, with a particular focus on urgent and acute care. You'll utilise a wide range of simulation strategies to create engaging and effective learning environments, supporting students both individually and in groups as they develop essential transferable skills.

You will hold an Honours degree or an equivalent professional qualification and maintain current registration with the NMC or HCPC. Ideally, you will be familiar with transferable skills development and work‑related learning within the higher education curriculum, and have experience supporting students individually and in groups to identify and develop these skills. A background in urgent or acute care is essential, along with excellent interpersonal skills that enable you to build strong, effective relationships with students, colleagues, and employers.

What we offer

This is a key moment to join a welcoming, ambitious, and research‑informed university community that places students at the heart of everything we do. We value and invest in our staff, offering meaningful opportunities for professional development, scholarship support, and clear internal promotion routes.

As well as outstanding development support, we also offer:

• A low contractual 35‑hour week
• Generous annual leave entitlement and Christmas period closure with the option to purchase additional annual leave
• Excellent pension scheme
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Family friendly policies
• Car and travel loan schemes

We are also investing in our staff and students by creating a busy and thriving campus, the hubs of which are our friendly and inclusive Student Life, Redmonds, Tithebarn and Byrom Street buildings. Our staff are visible and present for our students and this all adds to the fantastic student experience of living and studying in such a vibrant city. We see our staff as very much part of this community and value their contribution to the success of LJMU, Liverpool and the wider northwest region.

If you're inspired by the idea of joining a growing university and bringing your expertise to a community where you can truly make a difference, we look forward to hearing from you.
