Change your career, change lives

The Open University is the UK’s largest university, a world leader in flexible part-time education combining a mission to widen access to higher education with research excellence, transforming lives through education.

The role

We are looking to recruit several Associate Lecturers in the area of Advanced Clinical Practice, in the School of HWSC at the Open University.

The position is part-time, and is projected to be 0.12 FTE, and would involve teaching one or more modules. In particular, there are immediate teaching needs on K805 – Advancing Professional Practice

The position is home-based and has no fixed core hours. It is permanent, with a probation period of two years. The annual salary and workload are fixed, but there are significant workload peaks and troughs, mainly linked to providing marking and assessment feedback. This is likely to include exam and end of module marking tasks. Other tasks will be required such as focused student support (individual and forum), such as peer mentoring and working with the module team on assessment activities and quality improvement. Some evening and weekend work will be required. The appropriate level of FTE will be discussed at interview, and there is the possibility of increasing the FTE later. The starting full-time salary is £34,304 paid pro rata based on your FTE. Although most of the teaching occurs between September  and June, the position is paid over the full calendar year.

The contract will start from October 2022.

  • Demonstrate ability to encourage students to engage with scholarship and independent study (including awareness of resources)
