The School of Health and Social Care is seeking to appoint a part-time Practice Educator in Speech & Language Therapy. We are keen to recruit a person who can demonstrate the ability to support, assess and evaluate students on the Speech and Language Therapy programmes run by the University of Essex and through excellent communication skills will provide support, practice-based skills teaching and clarification to learning. They will demonstrate safe decision-making and excellent communication within the workplace.
The successful applicant will join an enthusiastic team supporting the development and delivery of the Speech and Language Therapy programmes and will be based at the Colchester Campus, although a significant amount of the Practice Educator’s time is expected to take place within the placement setting.
We have a high reputation for our innovative educational delivery of Speech & Language Therapy programmes (in the top 15 in the National Student Survey for overall student satisfaction, 100% Employability, ranked gold in 2017 for the Teaching Excellence Framework, and named University of the Year 2018). We aim for excellence in research as well as in education and are looking for candidates who can contribute to both.
In April 2017 we were awarded a silver Athena SWAN award which recognises the commitment the School has toward equality and development of an inclusive culture, promoting dignity and respect.
