Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy

An opportunity has arisen for two motivated Lecturers/Senior Lecturers in Occupational Therapy (OT) to join our team at Oxford Brookes.

Located within the Department for Sport, Health Science and Social Work, we provide pre-registration OT programmes at BSc and MSc degree levels. The Occupational Therapy programmes are primarily delivered in the healthcare teaching facilities at the Marston Road site of the University, offering state-of-the art simulation skills labs and teaching facilities, and close to local clinical and research sites of excellence.

We would expect our new Lecturers/Senior Lecturers to undertake academic and academic-related responsibilities in the delivery of high quality Occupational Therapy. The successful candidate will contribute to the teaching and supervision of student research projects at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the management, scholarly activity and developmental ambitions of the department, taking responsibility for a programme role as required.

The post holder must have a pre-registration degree in Occupational Therapy or a relevant equivalent, and a postgraduate degree in a health and social care related subject or be studying for one. Applicants must be registered with the HCPC as an Occupational Therapist (international applicants are invited if they have commenced the process of registration with the HCPC). Depending on applicant experience, split posts may be considered.

Experience required for the post:

We are particularly interested in encouraging applications for our Lecturer/Senior Lecturer post from candidates who have the following:

• a strong clinical background in Occupational Therapy; clinical experience in physical settings, mental health settings and/or paediatric settings are all invited

• a track record of teaching/contributing to teaching and/or module leadership, preferably within a higher education institution

• experience of research activity and/or supervising undergraduate student research projects

• experience of practice educator supervision of pre-registration Occupational Therapy students

• possession of a suitable teaching qualification for a higher education setting (or willingness to complete in post)
