About the College/Department
The School of Allied Health & Social Care is part of the College of Health, Psychology, and Social Care at the University of Derby. The School consists of three discipline areas: Public Health and Social Care, Therapy and Rehabilitation and Diagnostics and Clinical Interventions. The Discipline itself covers a range of professional courses from Radiography and imaging, ODP, Paramedic, DXA reporting, ECP, ACP and non-medical prescribing.
Our vision is clear - to create a vibrant, inclusive, and future-facing School that cultivates the delivery of high-quality, person-centred care. We have ambitious strategies in place to deliver an outstanding student experience, a culture of internationally important research and scholarship, and transformational partnerships with our collaborators across the health and care systems of Derbyshire and beyond.
About the Role

This will involve mentoring and coaching, alongside maintaining both formal and informal records of progress in on- and off-the-job training. Working closely with our academic teams, you’ll help our students reach their full potential.
We welcome applications for both full-time and part-time positions – working hours can be discussed at interview.
