Previous Applicants need not apply.

The Department has been delivering sport and exercise programmes for over 60 years and has over 1300 students studying at foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate level across a range of courses in the sport and exercise area. The Department is fortunate to be located on a purpose built Campus, opened in 2002, with excellent practical sport, laboratory and library facilities that have been recently enhanced by extensive additional active learning and social spaces. We have fully equipped biochemistry, biomechanics, physiology, psychology and ICT laboratories, alongside a clinical skills area for sports therapy. Practical facilities include a Sports Hall, Dance Studio, All-Weather Pitch and Cardiovascular and Strength Fitness Suites. The design of these facilities reflects the Department's commitment to active learning, and to ensuring that students are fully engaged with their curriculum, building skills for employability and for lifelong learning.

This post has arisen due to the continued popularity of our programmes and continued growth in student numbers across the Department. You will be joining a team of 40 academic staff, all of whom are engaged in research and scholarly activity.

The Faculty is seeking to appoint a highly qualified and enthusiastic individual to work with the recently established sports therapy team. Candidates should be appropriately qualified in sports therapy, and have practical and teaching experience of sports therapy. Membership of the Society of Sports Therapists (SST) is a requirement. This exciting post requires a highly motivated and well organised person, who can be dynamic in making external links and placement opportunities within the County of Gloucestershire.

This post is principally a teaching post, although all staff are expected to be research active to ensure that their teaching is underpinned and supported by research and scholarship, for which an appropriate time allowance is made available. The academic team have developed a supportive research culture and entered the 2008 RAE.
