We are looking for an inspirational and committed lecturer in Sport Therapy with the ability to enthuse students and maintain excellent working relationships within a highly successful department. The appointed candidate will be expected to deliver high-quality teaching on Higher Education programmes and contribute to providing an outstanding learning experience for our students.
Candidates should be confident teaching across a range of ability levels, including Levels 4, 5 and 6, and should demonstrate enthusiasm for their subject alongside a strong commitment to teamwork. The successful candidate will lead several modules, supervise sports therapy clinics, and take responsibility for a tutor group. Candidates who are new to the teaching profession will be supported by a highly experienced higher education team.
Candidates must hold a Sport Therapy degree accredited by the Society of Sports Therapists (SST), with a master’s degree being desirable. Candidates should ideally hold a relevant teaching qualification; however, this should not deter non-qualified applicants from applying. We welcome applications from experienced industry professionals wishing to transition into teaching, and funding may be available to support teacher training.
The ideal candidate will have a successful track record in delivering Sport Therapy courses and/or may be a practising sports therapist seeking to move into a lecturing role. The successful candidate must be willing to engage in regular CPD to remain up to date with current research, evidence-based practice, and emerging techniques and technologies and maintain full professional membership with the SST for the duration of employment. Applicants who do not hold a recognised teaching qualification will be considered but will be paid on a non-qualified lecturer scale.
We offer a generous package with benefits including 40 days annual leave plus bank holidays and College closure days, teacher pension scheme, relocation package, free on-site parking and a variety of on-site benefits and discounts.
