Job description

Location Base: Walsall Campus. Cross campus travel and travel to practice placement areas will be expected at times.

We are seeking to appoint a motivated and experienced Podiatrist to join our established Podiatry teaching team and wider Allied Health academic community. This role offers an exciting opportunity to inspire and support the next generation of Podiatrists across our direct entry and apprenticeship programmes.

The role of Lecturer in Podiatry involves all aspects of module leadership, preparation and delivery of teaching and learning activity on various aspects of the podiatry course including the inclusive and engaging teaching of theory and clinical skills, personal tutoring, student recruitment, assessment and support of students during their university and external placements. The successful candidate will also be responsible for the supervision of learners in the student-led podiatry clinic which provides a podiatry service to the public.

You will have opportunities to contribute to curriculum innovation, research, professional development and the continued growth of Allied Health education to enhance the profile of Podiatry and the wider Faculty.

You will hold current registration with the Health and Care Professions Council as a Podiatrist with extensive experience and knowledge of podiatry practice and a passion for developing future professionals. You will be able to collaborate effectively with others and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Whilst formal teaching experience is not essential, a commitment to supporting learner success is required.

Applicants who do not hold a teaching qualification would be expected to work towards one and achievement of Fellowship with Advance HE is a requirement of the posts, if this has not already been attained.

Whether you are an experienced educator or a Podiatrist looking to take your first step into academia, we would love to hear from you
