The University of Portsmouth is a global employer of choice where exceptional people create, share and apply knowledge that makes a difference.



Experience the pride of being part of a select group - one of only four universities in the south-east of England to achieve a prestigious Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework. Additionally, we proudly rank among the top 140 universities globally in the Times Higher Young University World Rankings.



Ambition, Responsibility and Openness drive our every endeavour. Join our esteemed institution with a proven track record of success, and where dedication to excellence is key. We want people to make their mark in a professional community that truly values people, innovation, and achievement.

The Role:

The programmes within the Institute for Professional and Flexible Learning allow working people to study for university qualifications - bachelors' and masters' degrees - without leaving their jobs. Each student works to an individual study programme embodied in a learning contract, and much of the learning comes from projects that form part of their daily work, which minimises the time spent studying. Our students work in a wide range of subject areas, including health and safety, engineering and study via distance learning.



We are looking for a health & safety individual who has experience of teaching in higher education or equivalent industrial, commercial or military experience. A higher degree and / or membership of an appropriate professional institution, such as IOSH, would be an advantage.



Our students are interesting people in responsible jobs, and their studies are firmly embedded in their work. They are highly motivated and frequently expert in their fields, and so present fascinating challenges and opportunities for teaching.



Working closely with the academic team, the successful candidate will contribute and collaborate on the successful teaching, assessment, and development of current and future courses.



Hybrid working is offered for this post. The interview date is anticipated to be on 08 and 10 July 2025. This appointment is a part time (0.6 FTE) working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, fixed-term contract (until 31 July 2027).

For internal candidates it may be possible to apply for this role under the Secondment Policy . If you wish to apply as a secondee, you must have approval of your line manager in advance of submitting your application form. Please confirm in your application that your line manager has approved this.



Applications must be made in accordance with the details available on the University website.
