About the role:
Do you want to make a difference and shape the future of midwifery education?
We are looking for an individual who will support and encourage our students to develop into confident and competent midwives as part of a creative and innovative Midwifery team.

You will be joining a talented passionate team, committed to widening access and participation in Midwifery education. Collaboration with internal and external midwifery and research networks is encouraged.
You will contribute to the academic development, course management, teaching, research development, and scholarship within the School in the area of Midwifery. You will work closely within the midwifery team to create innovative approaches to teaching and learning to UG and PG learners, support undergraduate and postgraduate research and contribute to the wider School and University activities.
About you:
The successful candidate will have sound knowledge and practical experience of teaching Midwifery in a Higher Education environment with excellent presentation and communication skills.
For this role you are required to have current NMC Registered Midwife status with significant post-registration experience, an undergraduate degree and a relevant postgraduate qualification.

Our people are our most important asset. We'll encourage you to make the most of your talents and continually develop your skills and knowledge. As well as realising your career ambitions, you'll be making a positive difference to other people's lives. We also offer a fantastic package of rewards and lifestyle benefits – from an attractive annual leave entitlement to access to a comprehensive employee benefits platform.
We are proud to be a diverse, multicultural university. We are committed to building a truly inclusive culture where diversity is championed. Applications are particularly welcomed from individuals who will support the diversification within the University and support its development of a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all.
