Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science

Working at Senior Lecturer level, you will provide academic and professional leadership within the subject area. You will contribute to professional practice education and work-based learning, including apprenticeship provision and End Point Assessment, while building strong relationships with NHS employers, professional bodies and healthcare science networks. You will also have opportunities to contribute to scholarship, research, innovation, knowledge exchange and the development of new educational provision.

We are particularly interested in applicants with current or recent experience of NHS pathology services, together with HCPC registration as a Biomedical Scientist. You will have well-developed expertise in Blood Sciences and substantial experience of teaching, training, supervision or developing others through professional practice.
