The School of Health and Social Care is seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer in Social Work to support its expanding provision of social work education and to complement our existing strengths in teaching, research, and professional practice. 

The University of Lincoln has established a reputation as one of the most dynamic, fastest growing universities in the UK.

Located in the College of Social Science (with the Schools of Psychology, Sports and Exercise Science, Education, Social and Political Sciences and the Lincoln Law School), the School of Health and Social Care offers a well-established range of undergraduate, post-graduate degrees, apprenticeships and post qualifying and post registration stand-alone programmes. In excess of 1800 students are currently registered on the School’s programme, with the majority undertaking qualifying programmes towards professional registration in Nursing, Midwifery, Paramedic, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Social Work. The School has an active consultancy and research focus locally, nationally and internationally, including the Community and Health Research Unit, renowned for its publicly engaged and transformational research in primary and preventative health and social care practice. The School of Health and Social Care is forward thinking and ambitious with plans to further develop education for health, social care and social work professionals at all academic levels. A significant feature of the School of Health and Social Care is its commitment to interprofessional learning, with cross teaching and collaboration. 

The University of Lincoln is now the academic partner in a consortium of companies lead by Capita who will be delivering multidisciplinary training and educational services to the Royal Navy in a partnership expected to last more than a decade. This is an exciting new post and the successful applicant will have the opportunity to take a significant role in delivering the registered Social Work education for the Royal Naval personnel.
