The Opportunity:
A unique opportunity has arisen for an academic in the fields of both Counselling and Psychotherapy and in Applied Health Sciences to deliver teaching on both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. You will contribute to core teaching on our MA (Honours) Health in Social Science and to core teaching on our Masters and Doctoral counselling and psychotherapy professional programmes. You will also contribute to course organisation, curriculum development, teaching and research supervision and have opportunities to engage in research.
Our MA in Health in Social Science is an interdisciplinary programme, drawing on professional and research expertise in a range of Health-related Social Science disciplines, including Sociology, Social Policy, Public Health, Clinical and Health Psychology, Nursing Studies, Counselling and Psychotherapy and others. We welcome applications from across this broad spectrum of disciplines and specialisms. The four-year undergraduate MA programme offers students an opportunity to build a robust understanding of the complexity of human experience in the area of health, illness and the social arrangements for care.
Our Masters and Doctoral programmes in Counselling and Psychotherapy educate students to become qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, both in the UK and across the globe. Based in the dialogue between the psychodynamic and person-centred approaches, the programmes provide professionally-accredited education in non-directive, relationship-based therapeutic practice. The Counselling and Psychotherapy programmes are founded on social science and practice-based research and scholarship, including case study and experience-near research paradigms and creative-relational inquiry approaches.
You will be joining an enthusiastic, motivated and diverse team where different experiences and skills are valued and contribute to our ability to provide an excellent student experience. You will be offered mentoring and professional development to enhance your teaching, including the opportunity to undertake the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice which can lead to Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy. This post will commence in August 2025.
You will contribute to core teaching on both the MA (Hons) Health in Social Science Programme and our postgraduate Masters and Doctoral Counselling and Psychotherapy Programmes, supervise both undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations and support practice placements. All teaching is fully on campus.
Your skills and attributes for success:
You will have a Postgraduate Qualification in an applied social science in health, such as sociology, psychology, nursing, counselling and psychotherapy or other relevant discipline.
You will have experience of delivering education in a field relevant to applied social science in health, in both undergraduate programmes and postgraduate professional training including lecturing and leading tutorial groups.
You will be a qualified practitioner in Counselling and Psychotherapy, holding professional accreditation with a relevant Counselling and Psychotherapy professional body (COSCA, BACP, UKCP or equivalent) or eligibility to apply for accreditation.
You will have the ability to design and deliver course materials and assess student performance in both academic assignments and counselling practice development.
You will have experience of supporting students in practice skills development.
You will be able to take responsibility for organising your own activities and for the management of allocated resources.
You will have the ability to work effectively both independently and as a member of a team.
