About This Role
Our Lecturers provide academic leadership that ensures high-quality teaching, learning, and student success. They lead on curriculum development, assessment, quality assurance, and module delivery while supporting staff and students.
Due to continued growth in our student numbers, we're looking for UKCP-accredited Person-Centred psychotherapists.

You'll also contribute to the production of sector or journal articles and reviews, and be committed to equality, diversity, and inclusive learning and practice.
