Senior Lecturer in Diagnostic Radiography at University of Lincoln

The University of Lincoln is expanding its pre-registration portfolio by starting a BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography programme in September 2024. We are delighted to now offer the opportunity to apply for the role of Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader.

The 3 years programme is currently undergoing internal and external validation, and recruitment activity has already commenced at our first open day in July. We have worked very closely with the local acute trusts to write a programme which fulfils their local workforce needs as well as drive the profession forward through the addition of new skills required by the College of Radiographers. With new community diagnostic centres being built in the region, students will spend 2 days a week on placement throughout the 3 years to ensure the links of theory and practice are strongly embedded.

Allied Health Professions education has been delivered at the University of Lincoln since 2018 and you would be working alongside 4 other AHP professions: Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Paramedic Science and Physiotherapy.

You would be joining the School of Health and Social Care in the College of Health and Science. The School has established an enviable regional, national and international reputation for its teaching, its research and its broad educational opportunities. We offer a range of undergraduate and post-graduate pre-registration degrees and post registration MSc programmes. We have an income of over £11m, 120 academic staff, and over 1800 students registered across all the School’s programmes. Teaching is predominantly delivered in the purpose built Sarah Swift Building which opened in 2017. Additional refurbishment in 2021 developed a VR suite where the Diagnostic Radiography students will have the opportunity to use high fidelity simulation alongside Virtual Medical Coaching software to develop their practical skills.

The University of Lincoln offers exciting career opportunities with the chance to grow and develop to reach your full potential. We have a wide range of staff benefits, including a generous annual leave allowance of 35 days per year pro rata (plus an additional 14 bank holiday and concessionary days), access and support for training and career development, progressive pay rates, access to discounts at popular stores and more. We also offer hybrid working to support academic staff to work on campus and at home, and an annual stipend for undertaking the role of Programme Leader.

We are happy to consider a joint post with an NHS employer. For an informal conversation about the role, please contact Sophie Willis, Associate Professor in Allied Health Professions, at SWillis@lincoln.ac.uk.
