The Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education School of Social Work and Mental Health offers an exciting opportunity for a full-time Lecturer in Social Work to join the Social Work team (Think Ahead Programme). The post can be based in London and is also available for remote working for interested candidates residing in the Midlands, North West, or North East of England (with travel for placement visits and Hendon Campus teaching and meetings).

We are seeking to appoint one Lecturer in Social Work to join our Social Work Academic Group. Middlesex University is the academic partner for Think Ahead, a national mental health social work programme. The Social Work Academic Group is part of the School of Social Work and Mental Health, which is an exciting, multidisciplinary group of academics delivering high-quality professional programmes and research.

The successful candidate will have a proven background in social work practice and academic qualifications at postgraduate level (normally master’s or equivalent). You should be able to work collaboratively and have experience of delivering high-quality teaching and facilitation of learning within a university and/or in practice settings as a Practice Educator or mentor. Candidates should have practice experience in mental health and possess skills and knowledge in child and family and adult social work.

As the Think Ahead programme is a national programme, with students undertaking their practice experiences across England, the post holder will cover placement units located across England, which requires regular travel with a hybrid-working model of online and on-campus teaching (London) with regional recall teaching days.
