Senior Lecturer Social Work

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 School of Public and Allied Health are looking to appoint a permanent, full time social work/health and social care Senior Lecturer to join our team. We are looking for a social worker or social work academic with adult and/or mental health social work experience in particular. You should be Social Work England registered (or eligible to register). You should be able to draw on your social work knowledge and experience as a basis for delivering the core social work curriculum across our undergraduate, postgraduate, and the BA (Hons) Health and Social Care programme. We want someone who will engage with module leadership, teaching, assessment, student support and development, both academically and on placement, and knowledge exchange/research.

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.  Find out more about working at LJMU here.
