Lecturer in Sport Exercise and Health

Location: Waterside Campus

About the Job 

Part time: 13.5 hours per week

Fixed term for 12 months 

Interview date: Friday 20 September 2024 

The University of Northampton is seeking an inspirational Lecturer in Sport, Exercise and Health. You will join a growing, dynamic, and collegiate team with an embedded culture of student-focused teaching and high impact research.

The post holder will primarily be responsible for delivering high quality teaching to our students and assisting in the design and development of innovative and inclusive teaching materials on our BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise science programme and our health sciences programmes. Applications are welcomed from individuals with experience of exercise physiology, health physiology and public health interventions.

This is an exciting time to join our University following our relocation in September 2018 to a new purpose-built, town-centre campus designed to adapt to 21st century teaching and the ABL model. We are looking to recruit individuals who share our passion of supporting students’ academic progress through high quality teaching, feedback, and academic support. We would like to receive applications from individuals who share our commitment to developing student belonging and creating an excellent and inclusive student experience.

As an academic, you will also be expected to contribute to the research and scholarly output of the subject area and work collegiately with other researchers within the Faculty and wider University. Research and scholarship are supported through our research centres, mentor scheme, and leave for scholarly activity.

We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual. We understand this may vary between different areas of the university as well as from one person to another. With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.

However, there will be an expectation to carry out teaching duties appropriate to the session type, meetings with staff and students, and personal tutor support should this require a physical, on-campus presence at various times.

Right to Work 

All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview. Due to the requirements laid out by UK Visas and Immigration regarding Right to Work in the UK, the University can only accept applications from individuals who currently have a status allowing them to work in the UK for this position. Due to this criteria we regret that we are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.

We welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
