At the School of Health, Education, Policing & Science at University of Staffordshire we have an exciting portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, with a strong history of nursing, midwifery and nursing associate education. We are keen to recruit to our midwifery team on a fixed-term basis until June 2027 (maternity cover).

You will get the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals who will support and encourage your career development. As a member of academic staff you will have the opportunity to work at our Centre for Health Innovation in Stafford in one of the UK’s foremost simulation and ‘simmersive’ teaching and learning environments. 

We are looking for an experienced candidate who has demonstrable excellent subject knowledge in midwifery, with a passion to teach and shape the next generation of clinicians.

Additional Desirable skills:

•    Experience of working in a range of healthcare settings.

•    Teaching in a Higher Education setting

•    Experience of research and writing for publication.
