The Role

We are seeking to recruit either a Senior Lecturer or Lecturer on a full or part-time basis on a one-year maternity cover contract.

The MSc Paramedic Science course was the first Pre-registration course offered at postgraduate level in the UK. This innovative course ensures a student-centred approach and continues to grow from strength to strength. We are extremely proud to partner with the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust (LAS).

The Person

• Senior Lecturer

You will be responsible for supporting the Professional Lead and Course Leader and leading the development, management and delivery of high quality, engaging Paramedic Science modules.

You will hold a Masters Degree and a teaching qualification. Current professional registration with the HCPC as a Paramedic is highly desirable, however we will consider all appropriate Healthcare Educators with an interest in supporting the diversity of Paramedic education.

You will have knowledge of current theory and practice in Paramedic Science in the UK.

You will have knowledge and skills to assess the quality of evidence and its translation to everyday Paramedic practice and service delivery at Masters Level and ideally, experience of supervising Masters level dissertations.

You will have experience of delivering the above in a UK higher education setting. You will also have experience of curriculum development, use of innovative, evidence-based approaches to support teaching and learning and being a module leader.

You will possess good IT and excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

The post requires enthusiasm, self-motivation, ability to manage your own workload and a willingness to commit to the University’s vision and values.

As a member of the academic team, you will contribute to the development of the professional, academic, research and scholarly profile of Paramedic Science within the College of Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare.
