Lecturer / Practitioner in Physiotherapy

Lecturer / Practitioner in Physiotherapy

1 FTE / 35 Hours per week

Grade 7, £38,784 - £43,482

We are looking for a physiotherapist, with a clinical background in neurological physiotherapy to develop and deliver high quality learning and teaching to the Integrated Masters in Physiotherapy programme at Plymouth Marjon University.

You must be a registered physiotherapist with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), with a minimum of three years of clinical experience working within the National Health Service (NHS).

You will be joining a team of highly motivated multi-disciplinary professionals, duties will include

• Module leadership developing and managing teaching specific modules across all academic years
• To contribute to the strategic development, operational governance, and delivery of the onsite Marjon Physiotherapy and Wellbeing Clinics.
• To provide professional mentorship and support to newly qualified registered physiotherapists, facilitating their transition into professional practice.
• Contributing to all areas of academic practice such as personal development tutoring (PDT), placement development and support, knowledge exchange and/or research activities.

We are excited to launch a new graduate-led Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Clinic with a specialist focus on neurological rehabilitation, and we are looking for a dedicated Lecturer/Practitioner in Physiotherapy to be part of this exciting initiative. While the primary focus of this role lies in academic teaching, module leadership, and curriculum delivery across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, this post also offers a valuable opportunity to provide overarching professional mentorship and strategic operational governance for the clinic.

Because our graduate physiotherapy practitioners are fully qualified and HCPC-registered, they operate autonomously, meaning your clinical involvement focuses on high-level professional development and research capacity building rather than day-to-day clinical supervision.

More than just a learning environment, the clinic will actively serve the local community by providing high-quality, person-centred care at an affordable price.

We continue to experience significant development, and we have an ambitious learning, research and engagement agenda. Staff are encouraged and supported to be innovative in their teaching, enabling students to thrive and build firm foundations in their chosen field.

Where you’ll work

You’ll be based on our green campus in the north of Plymouth, in Marjon's new Health Hub which provides purpose-built clinic rooms and a high spec working space for faculty staff. This promotes interprofessional discussion and collaborative working.

Our current hybrid working policy means you can work from home or on campus, but you will need to maintain strong campus links and be available onsite when needed.

Application Process

To apply for the position, please apply online at https://jobs.marjon.ac.uk/ and provide a supporting statement that demonstrates how you meet the essential criteria outlined in the knowledge, qualifications, and experience sections of the job description.

Supporting our people

At Marjon, we are firmly committed to supporting every member of staff who works for us. Our Balance programme of health and wellbeing activities aims to help you to look after your physical health, nutritional health, mental health and social health.

We recognise that our recruitment might bring in staff who are new to higher education and are bringing knowledge and expertise from other fields and practice. We want to ensure that all our academic staff are appropriately qualified to teach in HE and have the confidence to do so; to support this, we offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) to all new teaching staff without an existing teaching qualification. This provides our new staff with an opportunity to develop their understanding and practice of learning, teaching and pedagogic research/research management in higher education, and enables us to maintain our high standards of teaching.

We’re big believers in the importance of work/life balance. Many of our employees work flexibly and they are able to apply for parental leave and time off for dependants. As well as this, Academic staff enjoy 35 days’ holiday, plus Christmas closure days and eight bank holidays. This equates to 45 (full-time equivalent) days.

We are keen to hear from a diverse range of applicants to support our goal to realise every individual’s potential. We are a ‘

Disability Confident Employer’

candidates who declare a disability and who demonstrate on their application that they meet the essential criteria will be included on the shortlist. If you are considering relocating, you can read more about Plymouth here.
