About The Role
At the School of Health, Education, Policing and Sciences at Staffordshire University we have an exciting portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate and apprenticeship programmes, with a strong history of Allied Health education. We are keen to recruit excellent lecturing staff to support the development and delivery of the Occupational Therapy curriculum and apprenticeship provision at the university. Staffordshire University is currently one of the largest providers of degree apprenticeships with work-integrated learning central to the university’s vision for next generation education, experience, and engagement. You will be joining a well-established team of Allied Health professionals with a wealth of experience. The school is highly interdisciplinary in nature, and a great place to develop a distinctive academic portfolio.
In addition to developing outstanding teaching and learning experiences, you will have the opportunity to develop your own academic skillset and contribute towards our ambitious research and enterprise goals. We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with experience in employer engagement, curriculum and apprenticeship design and who therefore have the potential to contribute to the University’s ongoing portfolio in Allied Health. Within this community you will have the opportunity to grow academically while working with a team of dedicated professionals. You will get the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals who will support and encourage your career development.
The school is committed to building a diverse community. We are encouraging talented people join our academic team. All appointments are made on merit, on the bases of the interview and applications. We particularly welcome applications from suitably qualified ethnic minority academics, as they are currently under-represented in positions within the department.
