The role

We are looking to recruit several Practice Tutors for the nursing and nursing associate programmes across all fields of nursing (Adult, Mental Health, Learning Disability and Children and Young People). The role is based within the School of Health, Wellbeing and Social Care at the Open University.

The position is part-time (0.123 – 0.150 FTE) and would facilitate learning in practice on Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the BSc Nursing:  XK104 - Introduction to healthcare practice, XK211 - Developing nursing practice and XKYN326/7/8/9 – Becoming an autonomous practitioner.

The appropriate level of FTE will be discussed at interview, and there is the possibility of increasing the FTE later. The starting full-time salary is £37,099 paid pro rata based on your FTE. The position is paid over the full calendar year.

The position is home-based. There is a flexible approach to working which includes weekdays, evenings and weekends, negotiated to meet the needs of learners/employers. It is 3 years fixed term, with a probation period of two years. While the salary is fixed (per month), the workload demand varies across the academic year, and is linked to the practice module study calendar and portfolio assessment requirements. Other tasks will be required such as focused learner support (individual and forum), peer mentoring and working with the module team on enhancing learner experience and quality improvement.
