The School of Sport, Rehabilitation & Exercise Sciences are seeking to appoint a Lecturer to complement the existing staff and contribute to the three very successful pre-registration physiotherapy degrees, including a new apprenticeship programme.

We would welcome applications from any HCPC registered healthcare professional, who should have experience in a variety of settings and specialities in order to support teaching across the breadth of the curriculum.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the research environment in one of our research groups.

In addition, for Grade 9 ASER contracts, you will develop a research agenda, which pursues individual and/or collaborative research objectives and produce research outputs for publication.
Qualifications and Skills required:
The successful candidate will hold a relevant doctoral level research degree or have equivalent professional experience or practice or be close to completion of a PhD and will be registered as a healthcare professional with the Health and Care Professions Council.
