About Us
The range of departments highlights the range of courses on offer within the school and we are proud to work collaboratively with our NHS partners to look at new ways of working. Due to this the school is one of the leading organisations for developing courses that lead to new roles in healthcare. The school is growing currently and will expand with the development of Occupational Therapy, Advanced Clinical Practice and Physicians Associate as well as bespoke CPD courses. We are currently recruiting for our undergraduate Occupational Therapy course.
At UEL, we work with several local leading trust partners who offer innovative placement experiences that span both physical and mental wealth. The professional programmes at UEL thrive on the supportive partnership relationship with practice partners across the communities of East London and beyond and serves to support the health and social care needs of the local population. As well as local partners, UEL has a close relationship with Health Education England and works with the local strategic workforce boards to ensure that programmes at UEL are representative of the local workforce needs.
Join our innovative team to inspire the Occupational Therapists of the future. We have many exciting developments in our new and expanding programme that includes both apprenticeship and undergraduate programmes and we need Occupational Therapists with a passion for student education and the profession to join us in delivering these programmes.
