Job Details

This is an outstanding development opportunity for an innovative, talented individual who wishes to advance research and education relevant to mental health and mental health nursing to join our Faculty. The post is one of eight new posts as a commitment to our Faculty’s future education and research.

  • You will contribute to a thriving multi-disciplinary department spanning clinical, health services and implementation research in the UK and internationally.
  • You will join an established team of academic researchers in the Division of Care for Long Term Conditions, led by Professor Christine Norton, with mental health research led by Professor Alan Simpson, working in partnership with the Department of Mental Health Nursing led by Dr Tommy Dickinson. Professor Simpson works jointly between our Faculty and King’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience linking these two world-leading King’s Faculties. Professor Simpson is also Co-Director of the NIHR UCL-KCL Mental Health Policy Research Unit and leads a programme of high-quality research with the aim of improving the delivery and experience of mental healthcare and mental health nursing across diverse service settings. Under his leadership we plan to develop a leading Centre for Mental Health Nursing.
  • You will make a substantive contribution to the academic work of the Faculty and King’s, working with education, research and clinical teams, with the aim of obtaining continuing research funding, conducting research at a world-leading level to be published in major academic journals, and delivering inspiring undergraduate and postgraduate education, especially focussed on mental health.
  • You will collaborate with existing researchers and educators in the Faculty and in Kings and play a key role in working with Professor Simpson to advance research in mental health, mental health nursing, and mind body research to improve care and services.
  • You will join our multi-professional teams, with vibrant researchers skilled in qualitative and quantitative methods with a common purpose to improve patients’ lives.

Our education is driven by the philosophy that there is no health without mental health, and we work relentlessly to change the way people understand the relationship between body and mind. Our ambition is to extend our digital, postgraduate and international offering. Many members of the Faculty have national and international recognition as world leaders in their field of practice and have been selected for fellowship of various learned societies and academies. Clinical credibility and a willingness to develop and deliver high quality simulated practice will be expected. There may be opportunities for some clinical activity if of interest to the successful candidate. We have recently extended our educational portfolio in child and adolescent mental health. Therefore, we particularly welcome applications who have clinical and/or research experience in this area.

The teaching philosophy of the Department of Mental Health Nursing is student-led learning theoretically rooted in humanism. Humanist education aims to enable learners to express their own needs and interests, building their self-efficacy, independence and creative energy. Through this humanistic framework we strive to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and display compassion and empathy to craft an atmosphere where students appreciate their potential to learn and are excited about learning, so they can begin to realise their role, responsibility and capacity to take charge of their own lifelong education.

We welcome interest from candidates who share our vision of delivering high quality, inclusive research and education in a dynamic healthcare economy and who are enthusiastic about patient focussed, evidenced based care.

King's has an outstanding reputation for world-class teaching and cutting-edge research. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) King’s was ranked 6th nationally in the ‘power’ ranking, which takes into account both the quality and quantity of research activity, and 7th for quality according to Times Higher Education rankings. Eighty-four per cent of research at King’s was deemed ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (3* and 4*). The university is in the top seven UK universities for research earnings and has an overall annual income of more than £684 million.

King's has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and social sciences including international affairs. It has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA and research that led to the development of radio, television, mobile phones and radar.
