Join the UK’s University of the year for teaching quality.
The Department of Allied Health Professions and Life Sciences is one of the UK’s leading teaching centres of pre-registration health education and one of the first universities to offer Allied Health Professions Degree Apprenticeship Courses.

You will be involved in supporting the delivery of our degree apprenticeship provision in the North West Region working on the Occupational Therapy course and inter-professional portfolio. We are looking for individuals who can inspire our students and make a valuable contribution to their learning experience whilst preparing them for contemporary occupational therapy practice. Alongside this, is the opportunity to develop your career to further your own academic profile and enhance your teaching studying for a postgraduate teaching award (PG Cert Academic Practice).

We ideally seek to employ a candidate who is at the forefront of new ways of working in the NHS in either primary or secondary settings demonstrating care innovation and emergent management pathways.
