Description

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence.

Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community.

We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong.

Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The Law School at LJMU has a long tradition of marrying academic excellence and practical legal study. The School has a large suite of LLB, LLM and LPC programmes.

The LLB has been adapted to include elements of preparation towards new routes to qualification under the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination and includes clinical modules at all levels of study.

The School is particularly proud of the contribution that its award-winning Legal Advice Centre, which is one of the largest in Europe, has made to both the University and the regional community.

The work of the Legal Advice Centre has now been embedded into the undergraduate curriculum to provide valuable experience and skills development for our undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The University invested £2.6m in the new clinical premises on Hardman Street in Liverpool in the heart of the City.

You will be working in a vibrant, modern and dynamic Law School and will be leading one of the best law clinics in the country.

You will be required to demonstrate excellent leadership and innovation in both teaching & learning and in the promotion of research-informed teaching.

You will provide leadership and line management to academic staff within the Clinical Legal Practice Subject Area with respect to all academic activities, including teaching, research, and enterprise.

You will lead on the ambitious and wide-ranging external engagement agenda of the School of Law.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join LJMU in our bicentenary year and with the launch of our new strategic plan.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
