Currently we have over 1500 learners on CPD programmes with formal contracts with 9 out of the 11 English ambulance services, as well as an open access paramedic course at our Lancaster campus. This pedigree in paramedic education has led to the creation of the Centre of Excellence in Paramedic Practice (CEPP), which incorporates undergraduate, apprenticeship and post graduate provision. This role will be based within the Paramedic CPD team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly motivated team developing and leading the delivery of paramedic post graduate CPD across England.

As a
Senior Lecturer in Paramedic Practice, you will be supported by the principal lecturer, programme lead and clinical lecturers.

You will develop positive working relationships with NHS Trusts and other organisations.

The University has previously been shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Outstanding Employer Engagement Award and this is reflected through the collaborative working with several organisations.

You will demonstrate enthusiasm for practice-based education and their specialty, and have a willingness to utilise a range of e-learning technologies and other strategies in order to affect the provision of high-quality learning opportunities and the best possible student experience.

The University is committed to nurturing an environment where its employees, students and visitors are treated fairly and with respect at all times.

We recognise that if we provide a
fully inclusive working and studying environment, we will enable everyone to perform to the best of their ability.

Recognising, embracing and valuing difference will lead to improvements for everyone, including:

A more diverse staff and student population;
A better working and studying environment;
Attracting and retaining the very best staff and students;
Achieving the University mission, vision and values;
Meeting and exceeding the challenging targets and performance indicators in the University corporate plan.

You will play a crucial part in changing the shape of paramedic education within the UK. The CEPP is committed to ensuring that all provision is delivered from a position of inclusivity.

Leading cultural change and challenging the current disparities within the paramedic profession will form a key part of this role.

We are seeking innovative, creative, high quality researchers, and scholars to foster a culture of exploration, discovery and intellectual challenge that generates international recognition, respect and engagement.

In return, the University offers an
attractive benefits package including 35 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, 25 research and scholarly activity days, support for professional development, support to achieve Higher Education Academy/Advance HE accreditation, mentor provision in the first year of employment and opportunity for career development.
