Senior Lecturer in Policing

About us:

Working in the Department of Health and Social Sciences, and specifically the Sociology, Criminology, and Policing Subject Group, this post will focus on teaching and supporting learners on the Professional Policing Degree but also on the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, Degree Holder Entry Programme and the new Applied Criminal Justice Top-Up. This programme is a 3-year programme which is one of three entry routes to the police as outlined in the College of Policing Police Education Qualifications Framework. UWE currently provide all three routes working in partnership with Avon and Somerset Constabulary providing training and education for approximately 300 new police constables across multiple cohorts each year.  

There may also be an opportunity to supervise undergraduate project and placement students, and to undertake the pastoral and academic care of students through the academic and personal tutor (APT) role on both the Policing and Criminology programmes. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to recruitment and outreach activities, such as Open Days and Applicant Days.

About you

We are looking for well-rounded individual with practice and/or teaching/training experience to join our diverse team of practitioners and academics who are all passionate about their specialisms and dedicated to providing an outstanding student experience. The successful candidate will reflect these qualities, be collegiate, flexible and make a positive contribution to our team. There is an expectation that all academic staff have or work towards their post-grad higher education certificate, which will be facilitated by the university.

This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus.
