UCB is an equal opportunities employer. We are TEF rated Silver, with a Good Ofsted rating.
The Role:
We are seeking an enthusiastic, student-focused Registered Paramedic to join our Social Work and Healthcare Apprenticeships Department as an AC2 Lecturer in Paramedic Science. You will bring credible, current clinical experience and professional expertise to the development and delivery of high-quality, inclusive and professionally relevant education across our healthcare apprenticeship provision.
You will teach subjects that underpin paramedic science education, including academic, professional and evidence-based practice skills, helping apprentices develop safe, person-centred practice, critical thinking and the professional capabilities required for contemporary healthcare.
Working collaboratively with academic colleagues, employers and external partners, you will contribute to curriculum development, assessment, student support and practice-related learning, ensuring that provision remains current and aligned with professional, academic and apprenticeship standards.
You will design, deliver and assess inclusive, evidence-informed learning across a range of programmes, levels and modes of delivery according to departmental need.
