The Role
We are recruiting to a number of vacancies within our Physiotherapy team in the Centre for Allied Health, part of St George’s University of London. Successful candidates will join the team in providing high quality pre-registration Physiotherapy programmes at BSc and MSc level and the MSK pathway within the Advanced Clinical Practice pathway at St George’s. There are also opportunities for staff within the team to contribute to the research activity in the Centre for Allied Health and both Kingston University and St George’s University of London via the joint Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education.
The Person
We are looking for qualified Physiotherapists from both practice and those who have experience working in Higher Education. We are particularly interested in those with expertise in Neurology, Psychology and in Practice Education, facilitating student learning in the workplace. For some of the vacancies we are interested in exploring joint appointments, in particular with partner trusts in the South West London Integrated Care System (ICS) footprint, to further embed our collaborative working with the South West London AHP Council and the newly formed South West London AHP Faculty.
You will have the ability to inspire our students and provide an excellent experience for them as they learn. Alongside being involved in the pastoral care of students, you will be encouraged and supported to further your interests in scholarship or professional practice. Clinically up-to-date, you will have excellent communication skills and demonstrate the confidence to inspire a diverse range of post-qualifying and pre-registration students.
Whatever your background, you’ll have HCPC registration and a Master’s degree. Having a teaching qualification, such as the UKPSF2 or PGCHE would also be an advantage, although this would be supported within role if not already acquired. The Faculty supports new members of staff to gain appropriate qualifications and are keen to support ongoing academic and professional development.
