About the Job
Interview Date: 26 June 2026
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the interdisciplinary team that is within the School of Education and Society. We are specifically looking for someone with an academic and practice background in social work and courses associated with those regulated by Social Work England.
The role will involve contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate courses and typically involve face-to-face and online teaching. Wider professional responsibilities will typically include working on Saturdays (generally for student recruitment), twilight teaching, engaging in partnership work with employers, research and enterprise development. The post requires the ability to involve and liaise with key stakeholders related to social work.
We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual. We understand this may vary between different areas of the University as well as from one person to another. With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.
This post is subject to a background disclosure check by the Disclosure and Barring Service before any appointment can be confirmed.
