Job description

One of our key strategic aims is our unrelenting focus on our people‑first culture, ensuring you feel valued, empowered, and recognised for your individual contributions and expertise whether that be in a teaching capacity or a professional services team. All colleagues within the College contribute to the success of our students and we actively work to eliminate any barriers at work, ensuring you have the opportunity to thrive.

A Registered Nurse in any field, you will be integral to supporting the FE curriculum from Level 1 Health and Care courses to T Level Health, and be a key player in our development of the NMC Nursing Associate FdSc programme pending validation by NMC/UWE. This is a unique role as we are looking for someone who is proactive and keen to share the values of good healthcare as well as skills with our young people and future HE adult learners alike.

You will be given some FE lecturing hours and be supported to achieve your teaching qualification if you do not yet have one.
