Academic and Professional Tutor (APT) (Fixed Term, Part Time)

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work on a temporary fixed term basis as an Academic and Professional Tutor with the Doctorate in Applied Educational Psychology (DAEP) at the University of Nottingham.

Academic and Professional Tutors contribute to all aspects of the DAEP professional training programme including course management and development; module planning and delivery; tutorials and supervision of practice placements and research projects; and assessment of trainee performance. Induction and mentoring will be provided for each aspect of the role.

The Nottingham programme is part of the School of Psychology with a reputation for high-quality teaching and world leading research and with an established reputation for training educational psychologists. Successful candidates will join a forward thinking, creative and collaborative team, and contribute to the full range of the team's work.

Candidates must be fully qualified educational psychologists with a proven track record of effective professional practice, a good knowledge of current issues in EP training and a demonstrable ability to carry out senior management responsibilities. Applicants must also be registered with the HCPC as a Practitioner Educational Psychologist. In addition, it would be desirable for applicants to possess a Doctoral qualification in Educational Psychology.

The successful candidate will be expected to be working and carrying out duties as an HCPC registered Educational Psychologist alongside their work with the University.

This secondment opportunity is available on a part-time basis for two days per week until 30 April 2027, with the possibility of extension subject to ongoing funding for EP training. The post is contracted at 14.5 hours per week; however, applications from candidates seeking a minimum of 7.25 hours per week will also be considered. Please indicate your preferred working hours within your application.

Requests for secondment from internal candidates will be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

It is a condition of this post that satisfactory enhanced disclosure is obtained from the Disclosure & Barring Service.

We welcome applications from those of different cultures, ethnicities and beliefs – indeed this very diversity is vital to our success, it is fundamental to our values and enriches life on our programme and campus.
