We are seeking applications from highly motivated candidates who will contribute to the development and delivery of new programmes in Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Roehampton.

This role will be based in the School of Education, with close links to our School of Life and Health Sciences, which has programmes in nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

To meet the growing demand for Speech and Language Therapists, we are expanding into this area. We are looking for applicants with experience in this field, either as a practitioner or within Higher Education, who have the skills to create high-quality provision. We are in the process of developing employer-led academic programmes, gaining accreditation with relevant professional bodies and creating a network of partnerships for placements. A core value of the team is engaging with community partners to meet the needs of learners, service users and practice.

This role will include teaching related duties and being the main placement and practice partnership coordinator, so experience and commitment to this aspect of the curriculum is essential. Creative and innovative approaches to support learners to gain practice skills are welcomed.
