The University of Northampton is looking to recruit an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Lecturer/Senior Lecturer to join our expanding physiotherapy team. This is an exciting time to join the University as we look to expand our physiotherapy portfolio to include undergraduate and apprenticeship routes in addition to our existing pre-registration masters.   

The post will provide opportunities and a platform for you to demonstrate leadership capabilities within the physiotherapy team and wider faculty and stakeholder initiatives.

Your post will include leading and teaching current modules as well as contributing to the development of new provision. The University of Northampton’s teaching ethos is underpinned by a contemporary and research informed approach, utilising active blended learning to enhance student engagement and develop the critical problem-solving skills required in current and future practice.

The post requires effective communication across the faculty to develop teaching and learning that embeds inter professional collaboration, service user engagement and simulation-based learning within our modern campus environment.

You will be supported by an existing programme team and be in a position to provide learners with expert subject knowledge as well as supportive pastoral advice. You will have opportunities to engage with practice partners and clinical educators through the post, to ensure an ongoing high quality placement experience for students across a variety of sectors and settings.
