Crynodeb
The changing shape of contemporary health and social care requires a workforce that can work across boundaries, requiring the HEI sector to evolve to meet the needs of partner. Drivers for the School include: an identity that resonates with practice partners; a culture of inclusivity, partnership where staff and students can thrive and flourish; an environment which enhances opportunities for multi and inter professional learning, meeting the challenge of educating the healthcare and social care workforce of the future, aligned to the UWE 2030 Strategy.
The experience of our students is very important to us and we strive to maintain a vibrant and inclusive learning environment community. You'll join a thriving academic community and to participate in the continuing development and expansion of our education portfolio. We are proud of our collective contribution to midwifery practice locally, nationally and internationally.
The midwifery teaching team participate in teaching, assessing and supporting pre and post registration midwifery students and those from health and social care programmes across the School, as well as undertaking School and Faculty lead roles and contributing to the wider aspirations of UWE Bristol. Our academics build their careers through a combination of learning and teaching, research, knowledge exchange, and external engagement at regional, national, and international levels. Our team is committed to high‑quality teaching, effective practice learning, meaningful student engagement, and impactful research. Together, we design, deliver and lead modules that extend the reach and influence of global public health.
About you
You're an enthusiastic and inspiring individual who'll join our successful, supportive and highly committed midwifery team. You will become part of a forward‑thinking School of Health and Social Wellbeing, contributing to our continued success through your dynamic, adaptable and innovative approach to teaching and learning.
Integral to our work is a strong commitment to enhancing the student experience through creative, inclusive and evidence-based approaches to teaching, learning, assessment and research. You will bring a high level of insight into contemporary midwifery practice, alongside experience of practice‑based education, enabling you to support students effectively across academic and practice settings.
You will have a sound knowledge of current policy, professional standards, and the theories and concepts that underpin midwifery practice and education. Registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is essential. You will have achieved, be working towards, or be willing to undertake a Master’s degree in a health‑ or education‑related discipline, and you will be able to demonstrate a strong commitment to continuing professional development relevant to your role. You will also hold, or be willing to work towards, a recognised postgraduate qualification in higher education.
Enthusiasm for teaching and the ability to inspire and engage learners are central to this role. You will adopt a flexible and adaptable approach to teaching and demonstrate a clear commitment to enhancing the student experience across our programmes. A commitment to maintaining academic credibility and currency is expected. At UWE Bristol, this is achieved through a balanced contribution to teaching excellence, research, scholarship or practice activity, knowledge exchange, external engagement and academic citizenship, all aligned with the University’s values.
