Clinical Exercise Physiologist (Fixed term for 2 years)

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.

At Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), we are proud of our long-standing reputation for excellence in sport and exercise science, and our commitment to innovation that improves lives. We are now seeking an experienced Clinical Exercise Physiologist to lead the establishment and delivery of a new Clinical Exercise Physiology (CEP) Clinic designed to support individuals living with long-term health conditions.

This exciting new initiative will operate within the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, in collaboration with the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, and will provide a unique, student-supported environment for delivering evidence-based clinical exercise services.

You will manage the day-to-day running of the clinic, supervise clinical delivery by students and staff, and ensure high standards of patient care, assessment, and evaluation. Working in partnership with LJMU academics and external healthcare collaborators, you will identify and pursue new opportunities for service development, research, and external funding to expand access to clinical exercise interventions across the region.

You will hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology (or related field) and be AHCS registered, with 2–3 years of experience in exercise prescription and behavioural support for people with long-term conditions. Experience of supervising students, working within multidisciplinary healthcare teams, and evaluating service outcomes is essential. A PhD and/or research experience are desirable.

This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead a pioneering clinical service that bridges education, research, and real-world healthcare delivery.

We are looking to appoint a graduate Clinical Exercise Physiologist to run this project. Informal enquires can be made to Professor Helen Jones h.jones1@ljmu.ac.uk or Dr Gemma Miller g.d.miller@ljmu.ac.uk

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 the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

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.
