Permanent, full time
Join our innovative team to inspire the Occupational Therapists of the future. We have many exciting developments underway, including a degree apprenticeship route, and we need Occupational Therapists with a passion for student education and the profession to join us in delivering them. We are seeking to employ a full-time Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy to help us achieve our ambitious plans.
The Department of Allied Health Professions, Sport and Exercise has an excellent portfolio of education and research. You will teach within a department delivering Occupational Therapy and other health related programmes and you will be expected to support all aspects of academic work including supporting student placement opportunities.
We are looking to appoint an Occupational Therapist with a broad range of practice experience able to teach in many areas across the curriculum. You will be committed to partnership working and an enthusiasm for practice research is particularly welcome. Ideally, you will have experience of working with students and will be able to inspire them to excel through positive role modelling and innovative teaching. This appointment will involve practical and theoretical teaching across the undergraduate and apprenticeship occupational therapy degree programmes. You will be expected to support further developments within the department, both in a profession specific and multi-disciplinary context.
Registration with the HCPC as an Occupational Therapist prior to commencing is essential. A Master’s Degree (or equivalent) is also essential, and you must be prepared to register and study towards a doctorate if you do not already hold one.
