- Academic Support Unit | UniSC Sunshine Coast, Sippy Downs
- Level 5, $80,236 - $90,420 (pro rata) p.a., plus up to 17% employer superannuation
- Part-time (60% FTE / 21.75 hrs per week), ongoing appointment
The Opportunity
We’re seeking a motivated individual to support our midwifery academic programs through the delivery of technical services in our simulation and clinical teaching spaces at our UniSC Sunshine Coast campus. This role is essential to creating a safe, realistic, and engaging environment for students as they develop the skills and confidence required for midwifery practice. With a focus on adaptability and service excellence, you'll contribute to the success of our midwifery programs by ensuring the seamless operation of teaching facilities and helping students thrive in a high-quality learning setting.
You will
- provide technical expertise and support to undergraduate and post graduate teaching and facilitate high-fidelity simulated learning for students across the disciplines of Nursing and Midwifery with a particular focus on Midwifery;
- instruct in the use of simulation equipment and clinical learning facilities and oversee the operation of the technology to ensure safe and effective use of the equipment; and
- train and at times supervise casual team members when required.
About you
You have strong interpersonal skills, allowing you to communicate effectively, whether verbally, in writing, or through active listening. You thrive both independently and as part of a team, using your initiative to adapt to change and new situations with confidence. With a proactive approach, you can manage high-volume workloads under minimal supervision while applying strong analytical and problem-solving skills to deliver effective solutions.
You will possess:
- Completion of a Bachelor of Midwifery with experience in the provision of a broad range of clinical activities in support of teaching in a health-related discipline. An alternative combination of relevant knowledge, training and experience would be considered, however, experience as a midwife is essential;
- A demonstrated commitment to utilising simulation methodology in learning and its ability to transform education; and
- Ability to acquire knowledge of policies, guidelines and legislation relevant to clinical spaces and technical services including health and safety requirements and experience in performing, documenting and implementing outcomes of risk assessments.
