Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

About the Role

The School of Public and Allied Health are looking to appoint a permanent, full-time social work/health and social care Senior Lecturer to join our team. We are looking for a social worker or social work academic with adult and/or mental health social work experience in particular. You should be Social Work England registered (or eligible to register). You should be able to draw on your social work knowledge and experience as a basis for delivering the core social work curriculum across our undergraduate, postgraduate, and the BA (Hons) Health and Social Care programme. We want someone who will engage with module leadership, teaching, assessment, student support and development, both academically and on placement, and knowledge exchange/research.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
