At University College Birmingham, we believe education has the power to change lives, industries, and communities. We're looking for a visionary Senior Lecturer in Professional Development who shares this belief—and who’s ready to lead bold, future-facing educational innovation across our School of Health, Life Sciences & Education.

This is more than a teaching role. It’s an opportunity to lead the design and delivery of transformative CPD, modular programmes, and professional learning pathways that directly respond to evolving workforce needs in health, education, sport, and beyond.

Aligned with the NHS Workforce and Healthcare Delivery Plans and wider national education priorities, this post will shape flexible, blended and employer-driven learning that improves workforce capabilities, supports career progression, and helps transform services and communities.

You’ll work across disciplines and in collaboration with stakeholders—from NHS Trusts and ICSs to schools, local authorities, and industry partners—to co-create learning that is applied, impactful, and inclusive.

As part of a wider strategic initiative, this role will sit alongside new senior appointments in Teaching and Learning, enabling transformational curriculum leadership within an ambitious and growing School.

What we’re looking for:

• A passionate educator with experience in workforce development, CPD, or modular curriculum design.
• A collaborator and strategic thinker with the confidence to engage with employers, regulators, and academic peers.
• A leader in flexible education, with expertise in digital, blended, and stackable learning models.
• A commitment to innovation, scholarship, and civic impact.

At UCB, we are proud of our strong links to industry, our focus on applied learning, and our community-driven ethos. We are based in the heart of Birmingham—a city built on diversity, transformation, and opportunity. If you’re ready to lead change and make a meaningful difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Join us to:

• Shape regional and national workforce development priorities.
• Drive innovation in professional and digital learning.
• Work within a supportive and forward-looking academic community.
• Make an impact across health, education, sport, and civic sectors.

Please note that the roles closes on the 31 August and interview will take place on the 16 September 2025
