Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The School of Nursing and Allied Health has been committed to advancing developments in health and social care for over 25 years, tracing our origins back to 1991 when the Liverpool School of Nursing and Midwifery joined with Liverpool Polytechnic. Today, we continue to strive to tackle health inequalities and social exclusion and deprivation in local communities and beyond, through our undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, along with a growing programme of international partnerships and student opportunities.

We are now looking for a Practice Learning Support Officer. You will be a member of the practice learning support team, responsible for allocation of placements across Faculty of Health programmes. You will work with the PLSU manager to take responsibility for specific workstreams related to practice learning to include day to day liaison with students, external agencies, and other university departments. You will provide administrative support to the function of the Practice Learning Support Unit including the processing of placement related documentation.

You will have previous relevant administrative experience in a Higher Education Institution or the NHS and be capable of working collaboratively with people across the University in a professional manner.  You will have the ability to communicate well both orally and in writing, competency in IT skills, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to work on your own initiative or as part of a team. Experience of dealing discretely with confidential and sensitive information is essential. We are seeking enthusiastic and committed individuals dedicated to providing an outstanding student experience who can demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

This is your opportunity to be a key contributor to providing a high quality, exceptional and transformative educational experience for students, and be part of our continued development. We believe that LJMU is an environment that will enable your successes to be recognised, celebrated, and rewarded. You will join a team of staff with significant real-world experience and expertise from a range of disciplines which means that we are able to support your endeavours and provide mentorship as you grow in your role.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
