We are recruiting for a Lecturer with excellent clinical and academic skills to teach across our BSc (Hons) Podiatry, pre-registration MSc Podiatry, and Post Graduate programmes.

These well-established programmes rank highly for student satisfaction and graduate employment. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and creative team, embedding innovative teaching and simulation opportunities, focussing on enhancing the student experience and sharing in the co-creation and delivery of these popular and respected programmes.

Our Lecturers also act as a personal tutor; use listening, interpersonal and pastoral care skills to deal with sensitive issues concerning students, appreciate the needs of individual students and their circumstances, and to refer students as appropriate to the specialist services which can provide further help.

You should be a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Podiatrist with a postgraduate qualification who also has experience in either podiatry education or clinical supervision. An understanding of principles of learning and teaching in higher education is essential. You should be able to contribute to core areas of the Podiatry curriculum in a research informed manner.

If you have a Doctorate and can supervise at this level, you will have opportunities to develop as the university has an active programme for supporting early career researchers.
