The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen to cover maternity leave for a full time/part time, or secondment as a Lecturer in Physiotherapy (Neurology) in the School of Allied Health Professions, to teach across the School’s undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum. Physiotherapy, Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging), Prosthetics and Orthotics, Rehabilitation and Exercise Science, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, and Sports and Exercise Science are our established and growing programmes within the School, alongside post-graduate research degrees.
