Local employers and partner agencies work in close collaboration to develop qualifying and post-qualifying courses which meet regional workforce needs and research outputs which promote evidence based practice.

We are looking to recruit an experienced or advanced social work practitioner qualified at postgraduate level. Registration with the HCPC is essential and experience of higher education an advantage.

* Research design, delivery and publications.* Social work law, policy and practice in Children and Families Services.* Social work law, policy and practice in Adults or Mental Health Services;* Practice learning and work place education.

The post-holder will join a friendly, supportive team and be required to participate in teaching, learning and research activities at national and international levels.
