In your new role, you will have the opportunity to be part of a creative team, embedding innovative teaching and simulation opportunities on the Eastbourne campus, whilst supporting the upcoming transition to the Falmer Campus in 2024. You would be joining our inspiring team of academics focused on the learning and teaching of Physiotherapy on our pre- registration BSc and MSc course and we are developing a new L6/7 apprenticeship programme for pre-registration Physiotherapy to run alongside our established programmes. There is also an opportunity to contribute to the post registration education in a range of courses including the MSc Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. You will be expected to understand and be able to support a range of assessments and clinical practice / teaching in our on-campus clinical facilities. We provide a stimulating learning experience, motivating and inspiring students to become critical thinkers and high-quality professionals.
