We are recruiting for a Lecturer with excellent clinical and academic skills to teach across our BSc (Hons) Podiatry, pre-registration MSc Podiatry, and Apprenticeship programmes.

Our well-established programmes rank highly for student satisfaction and graduate employment. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and creative team, embedding innovative teaching and simulation opportunities, focussing on enhancing the student experience and sharing in the co-creation and delivery of these popular and respected programmes.

You should be a Podiatrist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), with a postgraduate qualification who also has experience in clinical supervision. A strong understanding of learning and teaching principles is essential, and higher education experience is desirable. You will be able to contribute to key areas of the podiatry curriculum using a research-informed perspective. Candidates who are not HCPC registered must be willing and able to obtain registration within 12 months.

• Relevant degree in podiatry plus a postgraduate MSc, or alternatively a relevant first degree plus a pre-registration MSc in Podiatry. Candidates with a post-registration MSc nearing completion will be considered.
• Current and active registration with the Health and Care Professions Council as a Podiatrist, or ability to become registered within 12 months.
• A Higher Education teaching qualification and/or a HEA Fellowship is required or will need to be achieved within the first 12 months.
• Recent professional activity as an experienced practitioner.
• Up-to-date knowledge of current developments in health including current clinical, professional and policy developments and the range of generic skills required to teach the subject.
• Experience of implementing creative approaches to teaching and learning of podiatry issues in universities and/or in clinical practice.

It is desirable to have post-graduate qualifications and an active research portfolio. If you have a Doctorate and can supervise at this level, you will have opportunities to develop as the university has an active programme for supporting early career researcher. You will be educating students across a range of basic science and patient management skills as well as other areas such as leadership and professionalism.

Our Lecturers also act as a personal tutor; use listening, interpersonal and pastoral care skills to deal with sensitive issues concerning students, appreciate the needs of individual students and their circumstances, and to refer students as appropriate to the specialist services which can provide further help.

This post is a permanent full-time role. A job share would be considered. It is planned that interviews will take place the week beginning 17th August 2026.
