The Role

As a Lecturer, you will be involved in supporting the delivery of our dietetics courses and inter-professional teaching.

You’ll be able to inspire, enthuse and connect with a range of students and make a valuable contribution to their learning experience and academic progression, whilst preparing them for contemporary practice.

Alongside this, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your career, further your own clinical academic profile and enhance your teaching expertise, through studying a PG Cert in Teaching in Higher Education.

You must be an HCPC registered dietitian and have well-developed and current knowledge and understanding of critical, practical, and theoretical issues relevant to contemporary practice.

Ideally, you will be at the forefront of new ways of working in the NHS, in either primary or secondary settings, demonstrating care innovation and emergent clinical pathways.
