Based in London’s East India Docks, UCLan London currently offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses related to Business, Computing, Health and Social Care, Public Health, Psychology and Mental Health and Wellbeing.
Continued growth in demand for our student-centred courses has led to the opportunity to expand our exceptional delivery team through the addition of a full-time lecturer, in areas related to Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Teaching across related courses and within an academic’s areas of expertise is also a common aspect of our approach to delivery.
If you are enthusiastic and motivated about your subject and supporting students to develop their academic skills, share our belief in the transformational nature of education, and wish to be rewarded for your teaching excellence, then we would like to talk to you about opportunities at the UCLan London.
You should be qualified to a minimum of master's degree level in a relevant discipline, with experience of teaching at undergraduate level in Higher Education and knowledge of contemporary issues relating to mental health and wellbeing. A strong grounding in industry will be an advantage, along with experience in teaching and supporting students from diverse backgrounds. You should have demonstrable organisational and personal management skills, with evidence of your ability to balance competing pressures. You should have effective interpersonal and communication skills that facilitate effective team working and teaching.
