Lecturer in Paramedic Science

An opportunity has arisen for a motivated Lecturer in Paramedic Science to join our team at Oxford Brookes.

Located within the School of Sports, Nutrition, and Allied Health Professionals, we provide a pre-registration paramedic science BSc (Hons) programme. The programme is primarily delivered at the University’s Marston Road site healthcare teaching facilities, which offer state-of-the-art simulation skills labs and teaching facilities and are close to local clinical and research sites of excellence. 

We expect our Lecturers to undertake academic and academic-related responsibilities to deliver high-quality Paramedic Science learning experiences. The successful candidate will contribute to teaching and student research project supervision at an undergraduate level. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the school's management, scholarly activity and developmental ambitions, taking responsibility for a programme role as required.

The post holder must have a pre-registration degree in Paramedic Science or relevant equivalent experience. Applicants must be registered with the HCPC as Paramedics (international applicants are invited if they have commenced the registration process with the HCPC).

One full-time post is available; consideration will be given to part-time employees working two or three days.

Experience required for the post:

We are particularly interested in encouraging applications for our Lecturer post from candidates who have the following:

• a strong clinical background in paramedic practice
