Senior Lecturer - Policing Practice
Job description
The University of South Wales is seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer and Force Course Lead in Policing Practice. We are currently in partnership with seven Police Forces. We have dedicated delivery teams based in each Force working in collaboration with police personnel. Our courses are blended in nature and consist of both online and in-person delivery, approximately a 50:50 split. We are seeking to identify talented individuals to work across our entire provision. This vacancy is for a Dorset based Senior Lecturer (Ferndown). Applicants may be asked to work with other forces or hold alternative focus during the position period.
The post holder will contribute to the delivery of the Subject’s growing undergraduate and postgraduate policing related awards. The post holder will be responsible for providing effective and high-quality learning opportunities via both blended and face-to-face teaching practices, for student officers off and on campus. The post holder will also be required to contribute to an excellent student experience for all apprentices/students and provide appropriate support and pastoral care for them. A key part of this role relates to the collaborative aspect of delivering operational policing programmes and will involve ensuring that key stakeholders work together to deliver programmes that align to the requirements of police force(s), the College of Policing and USW. This role will also include scholarly activity and the undertaking of applied research to enable knowledge transfer to internal and external stakeholders.
Applicants will have relevant policing knowledge or experience and ideally a recognised Higher Education teaching qualification, although we will consider applications on a case-by-case basis. If you do not possess a teaching qualification relevant to the context of Higher Education, if appointed you will be enrolled on the internal Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education scheme.
This position relates to the development and provision of the off-campus policing practice courses within our partner force areas, as such, you will be based at the police training facilities. The post holder will also be required to travel to one or more of our other partner forces from time to time, as well as undertake a short induction period based at the University of South Wales and occasional travel to USW thereafter. Due to the requirement to work from police premises, forces may also require applicants to undertake additional police vetting.
