We would like you to bring your skills and experience to join our Paramedic team, where you will be teaching and supporting students undertaking pre-registration studies.
In the School of Sport and Health Sciences have been producing the next generation of paramedics for a decade, and are well-established and highly regarded within our school where we provide a stimulating environment for staff and students.
In your new role, you will have the opportunity to be part of a creative team, embedding innovative teaching and simulation opportunities on the Falmer campus. You will be working as part of a team who focus on enhancing the student experience and will share in the co-creation and delivery of this innovative programme. You should understand and be able to support a range of assessments and clinical practice / teaching in our on-campus clinical facilities. We are particularly looking to recruit someone with strong professional experience as a paramedic.
All our academic staff act as personal tutors to provide pastoral care to our students. The role requires listening, interpersonal and pastoral care skills to deal with sensitive issues concerning students, appreciate individual students’ needs and circumstances, and refer students as appropriate to the specialist services that can provide further help.
In order to be successful in this post, you should have:
- A relevant degree in Paramedic Science
- Current and active registration with the Health and Care Professions Council as a Paramedic
- Recent professional experience as a senior paramedic
- A Higher Education teaching qualification and/or an HEA Fellowship, or willingness to undertake this within the first 12 months
- Up-to-date, sound knowledge of current developments in health, social care and the range of skills required to teach the subject
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 researchers.
We are accepting applications for this post at 1.0, or 0.5 and 0.6 full-time equivalent.
