About The Role
About the role:
We seek to appoint a Senior Lecturer in Adult Nursing on a fixed term 1.0 FTE basis to cover a maternity vacancy within the School of Health and Care. The role offers the opportunity to work across both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, providing scope to develop excellence in academic practice.
About You
We are seeking an experienced nurse academic to contribute to our nursing and wider health and social care programmes. You will bring educational experience from a university setting, and a track record of innovation and leadership in professional practice. We welcome applicants interested in combining an academic role with clinical practice and can consider fractional posts alongside your current employer, as well as secondments.
A key attribute will be your ability to work flexibly across our undergraduate and postgraduate nursing programmes (pre-registration and CPD), where your insight into contemporary practice (clinical and educational), will enhance student experience and learning. You will be a highly motivated individual who brings strength in education, research and practice. Above all, we are looking for people who share our passion for high-quality student-centred nursing education and have a strong vision for how the integration of education, practice and research can transform health care.
If this is you, we would be pleased to hear from you. For an informal discussion please contact: Dr Christopher Allen, Head of School (email: ceallen@bournemouth.ac.uk).
This position is offered on a fixed-term basis until 7th June 2027, to cover the maternity leave of an established member of staff. Consideration may also be given to the position being offered as a secondment opportunity.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Internal applicants may be considered for a secondment but this would need to be discussed with their line managers prior to application.
