The Strathclyde Centre for Occupational Safety and Health (SCOSH) launched in May 2023 ‘houses’ all the above activities creating a brand for this area of CLL’s work. This new post will provide leadership of the postgraduate programme and CPD offerings and will guide the strategic direction of the safety, risk and workplace wellbeing provision within SCOSH. You will lead a team of part-time tutors and work closely with CLL’s Operations Team and Head of Centre to take the SCOSH offering forward.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a well-respected Masters programme and a portfolio of safety-related CPD all with potential for growth within CLL. A Centre which prides itself on its people-oriented approach and proactive and commercial track record. The post would suit someone with experience in the HE sector, specifically around teaching and learning and a knowledge of occupational health and safety theory. Flexible working arrangements can be discussed.
