Forward-looking, focused, and innovative — Kingston University is a place where you can thrive. An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Adult Nursing academic team at Kingston University as a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer.
Join our dynamic and forward-thinking School, where you will play a key role in enhancing nursing practice and strengthening the reputation of the School of Nursing, Allied and Public Health in the field of adult nursing care across all domains of practice.
Articulate and well-respected, you will teach across the department and inspire our students with your passion for education. A keen interest in developing educational practice is essential, and experience in acute or emergency care is advantageous.
In addition to contributing to the pastoral care of students, you will be encouraged and supported to pursue your interests in research, enterprise, or professional practice. Our School celebrates equality, diversity, and inclusivity, and we welcome applications from individuals who reflect the full spectrum of our community.
Please note, an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check clearance is required for the role.
You will be a registered adult nurse with the NMC, educated to at least degree level, and have experience in caring for adult patients. Enthusiastic, dynamic, and highly motivated, you are passionate about teaching and eager to share your skills and expertise with the future nursing workforce.
A teaching qualification is desirable but not essential. We welcome applicants currently working in clinical practice who are interested in gaining experience in academia. Secondments from practice are actively encouraged.
Applicants must meet Kingston University’s learning and teaching standards. By the end of probation, you must achieve the relevant UKPSF recognition if not already obtained—either through our accredited Introduction to Learning and Teaching programme for new lecturers or the Kingston Academic Practice Standards framework for experienced educators.
