The School is well-equipped with a range of sport and exercise science laboratory, clinical and practical spaces, as well as a state-of-the-art Movement Analysis Suite and Strength and Conditioning room.

As an experienced Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Physiotherapist practitioner and educator, you will have experience of innovative curriculum design, and of working closely with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). You will have extensive experience of teaching in higher education and ideally of programme management. You will be expected to contribute to teaching on the programme, as well as engage in research/knowledge exchange and/or professional practice commensurate with the post to which you are appointed.
