Advert Glasgow Caledonian – the largest and leading modern university in Scotland - is a vibrant, values-led university with campuses in the heart of Glasgow and London. With a strong commitment to high quality education and research which supports the communities we serve, we have strong partnerships with employers to ensure our students get the careers they dream of and deserve.
In 2023 we rocketed into the top 40 universities in the UK in the highly regarded Guardian University Guide, were ranked the UK’s 2nd top performing modern university in the inaugural Daily Mail guide, and entered the top highly coveted 50 UK universities in the 2024 Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide for the first time. We are the top performing modern University in Scotland in all three guides. We are the only Scottish university with EcoCampus Platinum accreditation and were ranked second in Scotland for sustainability in the most recent People and Planet league table.
With a wide range of professionally accredited courses and links with over 300 industry partners, we have the highest proportion of undergraduate level graduates in highly skilled occupations (83%) compared to other Scottish modern universities - with 91% of our students in employment or further study within fifteen months of graduating (HESA 2023). We are Scotland’s leading provider of Graduate Apprenticeships. We are committed to widening participation, helping more people from diverse backgrounds into university. With campuses in Glasgow, London and New York, we have transnational partnerships around the world, supporting more than 22,000 students from nearly 120 countries.
Guided by our values – integrity, responsibility, creativity and confidence - we transform the lives of the people and communities we serve.
To support our continuing growth, we are seeking to appoint a new Lecturer (teaching intensive), within the Department of Social Work. The Department of Social Work is a rapidly expanding department with an outstanding reputation in the delivery of social work education. The Department is currently ranked 1st in Subject in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2025. The department has a strong student centred ethos and the role holder will demonstrate a strong commitment to that ethos.
As a lecturer in social work, you will have a focus on providing high-quality learning and teaching that is underpinned by scholarly activity. We are keen to receive applications from people who will enhance our delivery of and reputation in social work. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants who are strongly committed to and enthusiastic about practice education, learning and development. Applicants should hold professional qualifications relevant to the post and ideally will be qualified to doctoral level or equivalent.
Lecturers are expected to contribute to the delivery and assessment of existing modules, supervision, and the enhancement of the student experience across the range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes including inter-professional education. The post holder would also be expected to contribute to practice education, learning and development. Prior experience of supporting student learning, teaching and assessment in higher education and/or in industry/practice settings is essential. The Department of social work promotes innovation in learning and teaching and, therefore, we are keen to appoint an individual who can demonstrate creativity and innovation. A higher education teaching qualification and/or Fellow status with AdvanceHE is desirable. The post holder will also be expected to contribute to ensuring curricula are current and compliant with internal and external regulatory frameworks.
