The school aims to provide dynamic and transformational teaching, learning and research that makes a significant contribution to improving the health and wellbeing of local, national and global communities. The School prides itself on producing people-centred, capable and professional graduates who positively impact on the lives of individuals and the health of society.
You'll join a multi-professional team, developing, consolidating and delivering our innovative physiotherapy programmes to ensure our graduates are ready to meet the needs of a changing health care environment. This will involve the preparation, organisation, facilitation of teaching materials/opportunities and the assessment of students predominantly related to practice-based learning experiences, simulation and student-led service learning experiences and groups. Additionally, you with liaise with RGU teaching staff, Practice Educators and other external agencies with a view to extending, diversifying and evaluating practice-based learning.

Whilst we are focussed on educating the next generation of Allied Health Professions, we also appreciate the need to retain skills in the health professions, and therefore this role is ideally suited to anyone who wishes to continue to hold a clinically based role. Alternatively you might be a private practitioner keen to broaden your skillset in teaching and/or supplement your income. If you can bring current, practical experience in the profession to our students, we will aim to consider flexible contract types, such as part time and flexible working to accommodate individual circumstances.
You will be highly motivated with a degree in physiotherapy and appropriate professional registration. Postgraduate qualification to Masters level would be advantageous but is not essential. A background in physiotherapy is required with a broad understanding/experience of different specialities and sectors, beneficial.
