• Working with local and regional partners, including the East Midlands Ambulance Service, to ensure programmes remain relevant, innovative, and responsive to workforce needs
• We particularly welcome applications from candidates with advanced paramedic practice experience, or interests in simulation, critical care, or interprofessional education.

For Senior Lecturer appointments, we would expect prior experience in module leadership, course development, and/or research or scholarly activity.
