Our academic excellence has been recognised by the UK's Higher Education funding bodies, with 16 of our research areas assessed as world leading.

As a Senior Lecturer Practitioner in Pharmacy, you will have a substantive post at ARU, whilst still retaining your experience in practice. You will be working with colleagues within the School of Medicine, to design and develop a new MPharm programme, taking on the delivery of high quality teaching to our students, once the course begins. You will also work with colleagues across professional groups to design and deliver interprofessional learning and simulations. A key part of your responsibilities will be to collaborate closely with local placement providers to ensure effective placement-based learning and teaching.

The right individual will have a First Degree in Pharmacy e.g. MPharm or equivalent and extensive post qualification CPD and/or a higher degree. We are seeking a GPhC registered pharmacist with experience of education and training either within academia or the practice environment. Knowledge of the GPhC Standards for the Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists (2021) and experience supervising foundation pharmacists would be an advantage. An ideal candidate would have an independent prescribing qualification, although this is not essential. A strong desire to deliver innovative, clinically focussed education to our students is key.

There are three positions available. We have two roles available at 0.5 FTE and one at 0.8 FTE.

Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Claire Hough, Associate Professor of Pharmacy, at [email protected].

We have an agile working culture and offer an extensive range of benefits including generous holiday entitlement, occupational pension schemes, training and development opportunities, travel to work scheme and a competitive relocation package.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting welfare of our staff and students and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants should be aware that ARU will carry out online searches as part of the due diligence on short listed candidates.

We value diversity at ARU and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
