We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently – because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.

So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

The College of Health and Society are seeking to appoint a Placement Officer. The post holder will predominantly support students and academic colleagues on our Allied Health programmes where placements form a significant part of the students learning journey. You will be responsible for ensuring that students are allocated to placements which meet their needs and those of the programme they are studying. You will maintain excellent working relationships with our placement providers, drawing upon your problem solving and customer service skills to ensure an excellent placement experience for students and our partners.

You’ll be experienced in the use of placement management software, such as InPlace, or have confidence in your ability to develop your skills in this area. Attention to detail is a must, as you will be responsible for ensuring we are also meeting the exacting requirements of our Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSRB’s) when it comes to placement hours and requirements. Finally, you’ll be joining an established team so we are looking for someone who works well with others but is also able to take initiative, make decisions and solve problems independently.

What we offer:

a generous holiday entitlement (30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
training & development support opportunities
contributory pension scheme
free gym membership for our on-site gym
a range of staff discounts with major retailers.

If you have the qualities and attributes representative of the University’s values and ambition, we would be delighted to hear from you.

For further information about this role please contact Claudia Smith Cox, Head of Practice Learning – [email protected]

All applications are to be made in full and online.

We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace and aim to continue building an environment where everyone thrives and can be themselves.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that would enable you to perform to the best of your abilities in your role. Please reach out to the People Team ([email protected]) if you have any specific needs or if you would like more information on how we can support you.

We ensure that our interview/shortlisting Chairs complete the relevant e-learning and/or inclusive recruitment training.

If you’re considering using AI to support your application, we encourage you to question the value it adds. The use of AI tools sometimes erodes authenticity and prevents us from being able to assess the real you. We strongly recommend you prepare your application using your own skills and knowledge and that AI is only used for the purpose of review.

Closing Date - Thursday 30th July

Interview Date - Friday 7th August

Please note that an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is required for this position. The successful applicant will be required to give consent to check their criminal record status through the DBS. Information will be kept in strict confidence. Your offer of appointment will be subject to the University being satisfied with the outcome of this check.

If you are invited to interview for this role, you will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and if on a visa, current visa and status. Sponsorship is dependent on the salary level of the position. Due to the salary for this post, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship to the successful candidate.
