The role holder will provide academic leadership in relation to social care and social work. They will work closely with the Head of Department and other senior colleagues across the University. Located in the Department of Social Care and Social Work, the successful applicant will be expected to play an important role directly through their education leadership and knowledge of social work and social care within the Department.

The Deputy Head of Department role occupies an 80% workload allocation: it is expected that the Deputy Head of Department will maintain an academic research profile in their field over the duration of the appointment and have an annual 20% allocation of workload for that purpose. Following completion of the initial term, the Deputy Head of Department is expected to return to a substantive Reader post in the department.
