I am applying for my first lecturer job it is a clinical practice role and the description specifically invites those with no previous experience in academia.
I have 26 years experience of clinical practice, I am a qualified new grad mentor and student nurse coach so have relevant teaching experience.
I have a post grad certificate, but not in the specific area.
I haven't applied for a job for 26 years and am very nervous.
I believe I would be a good fit for the role and I am very passionate about helping the current young adults fill the resilience and communication skills gaps that are a result of COVID.
I think I am a pretty good teacher and have worked with dyslexic and dyspraxia student nurses helping them successfully complete their placements.
Limited as to who I can talk about it too as I hold a key role in my current practice and don't want to create uncertainty in the team.
