Description

Sheffield Hallam is distinctive, we are a place where innovation is sparked by curiosity, and collaboration means working together to solve problems and challenge the status quo.

An open-minded place, where everyone can thrive and belong.

We have an ambitious strategy and we are committed to transforming lives through excellent teaching, compelling research, dynamic partnerships and civic impact.

We design programmes and teach in ways which provide students with the experience, skills and knowledge they need to succeed; and we do so in an environment in which all can thrive - whatever their background or characteristics.

As part of our refreshed Transforming Lives strategy, we committed to a radical programme of change - our Future Strategy Programme - which will streamline our offer, focus our impact and embed agile and collaborative working in every aspect of the University, all geared around an expansive vision of an 'extended campus' fusing the physical and digital.

Sheffield Hallam University is one of the largest providers of allied health professions education in the UK, providing education and training across diagnostic radiography and ultrasound; physiotherapy; occupational therapy and vocational rehabilitation; operating department practice

paramedic practice; radiotherapy and oncology; end of life care.

We play a prominent role in the local healthcare ecosystem, with our students and staff recognised for their work supporting a region we are proud to be part of.

We are an outstanding group of more than 80 academic colleagues, and teach over 2,000 students annually.

We have a strong commitment to research that underpins equitable care, and increasing research capacity, capability, and impact in nursing, midwifery, allied health professions and social care.

Our research is supported by strong local and regional partnerships and national collaborations and attracts diverse funding including significant major awards from NIHR and UKRI.

The Department plays a pivotal role in the flagship Sheffield Hallam Health Transformation, a multi-disciplinary initiative which will see us achieve greater multi-disciplinary integration, increase the quality of our programmes, and innovate our curriculum and methods of delivery.


We are seeking an outstanding and strategic individual to lead the Department of Allied Health Professions and support the leadership of the College of Health Wellbeing and Life Sciences, working with the Dean and other Heads of Department.

As the sector moves beyond the pandemic, we are seeking an energetic, effective and people-centred leader, with the vision and ability to harness the collective energy of the department and motivate colleagues and students.
