Colleagues,
Ulster University is seeking to appoint an External Examiner with a Social Care or Social Work background for its FdSc in Health and Social Care programme. This FdSc is delivered within six partner FE Colleges within Northern Ireland as a subject network and validated by Ulster University. To properly address the quality assurance issues across the subject areas studied, this programme has two external examiners, one from a nursing background [remaining in post] and one from a social care / social work background [new nominations sought].
Ideally nominees should have:
• Current knowledge of working in UK Higher Education.
• An understanding of the expectations for UK academic programmes at levels 4 and 5 (Foundation degree).
• Knowledge of the subject area of Health and Social Care.
• Membership of the HEA.
The EE will be required to:
• Attend at least one Board of Examiners meeting each year [held in early June] and submit an annual report;
• Provide an overview and recommendations regarding the assessment procedures and practices used on the programmes concerned, measured against the outcomes of the programmes as well as appropriate UK subject and programme benchmarks;
• Communicate with the Course Director providing comment on the assessment elements for the modules identified as well as the content of the subject areas;
The majority of on-site moderation and quality assurance work occurs at Ulster University’s Jordanstown campus, located on the shores of Belfast Lough. Jordanstown is within easy reach of both Belfast Airports.
The appointment will commence in September 2020 and will last for a period of 4 years. An honorarium will be paid yearly upon receipt of the Annual Report, as will all reasonable expenses. An External Examiners Induction Day is held and attendance at this induction is required upon appointment. All expenses are paid to attend the induction event.
If you would like to be considered for this position, please a brief covering email expressing your interest along with a current CV to Jerome Marley, Faculty Partnership Manager.
