About you
We are looking for a well‑rounded individual with practice and/or teaching/training experience to join our diverse team of practitioners and academics who are all passionate about their specialisms and dedicated to providing an outstanding student experience. The successful candidate will reflect these qualities, be collegiate, flexible and make a positive contribution to our team. There is an expectation that all academic staff have or work towards their postgraduate higher education, which will be facilitated by the university.
This is a full‑time permanent post working in the College of Health and Social Sciences, specifically the Sociology, Criminology, and Policing Subject Group. The post will focus on teaching and supporting learners on the Policing programmes. UWE currently works in partnership with Avon and Somerset Constabulary to develop an integrated PCDA (Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship) programme, Diploma in Police Studies and DHEP (Degree Holder Entry Programme) which provides training and education for approximately 200 new police constables across four cohorts each year. We also run the Professional Policing Degree and a Level 6 Top‑Up. You will be working predominantly on the PCDA programme.
There may also be an opportunity to supervise undergraduate project and placement students, and to undertake the pastoral and academic care of students through the academic and personal tutor (APT) role on both the Policing and Criminology programmes. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to recruitment and outreach activities, such as Open Days during the term.
