The School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences (SERS) is a thriving academic community within the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Hull. Our team of over 20 academic and technical staff teach over 400 students, including postgraduates, as well as supervising students studying MSc by Research and those engaged in PhD work. Our state-of-the-art facilities and equipment provide high-quality teaching, learning, research and knowledge exchange opportunities for SERS staff and students. Facilities include a bespoke rehabilitation suite, extensively equipped physiology laboratories, a high-specification environmental chamber, and a large multifunctional Health and Human Performance Laboratory. The Human performance laboratory contains a Strength and Conditioning suite, multiple force plates, an integrated 10-camera high speed motion capture system and musculoskeletal modelling software, EMG, and isokinetic dynamometry.

The Health, Injury and Performance Hub was launched by the Sport Rehabilitation team in March 2022 as a student-led Hub, focused on the affordable assessment, diagnosis and treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal injuries for members of the local community. The clinic maximises the impact of the expertise, facilities and assets available to develop innovative sport rehabilitation packages that generate new income streams. The Clinic is a platform for developing a local/regional client base, while also providing valuable opportunities to enhance the undergraduate and postgraduate student experience.

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified Sport Rehabilitation specialist who has experience of working in a clinical environment. The post holder will play a role in maintaining the reputation of the clinic through effective supervision of students while patient facing, assisting with the development of commercial partnerships and support the expansion of the clinic into Physiological Assessment and Sports Asthma/Unexplained Exertional Breathlessness Services.  

In addition to the 0.3FTE position, the Health, Injury and Performance Hub is funding a part-time (2 years) Masters of Research, with the ideal candidate committed to both the Clinical Supervisor and Masters opportunities in tandem. The candidate will be supervised throughout their studies from experienced academic members from the SERS. The candidate will help in creating a research direction for the clinic, and produce high impact research in the profession.  

The Masters by Research will be part-funded by World Rugby. The project will aim to investigate the range of cervical spine movements produced by newly trained individuals in a roll of an athlete with a suspected cervical spine injury. The candidate will utilise an infrared marker-based three-dimensional motion capture system to collect data within the biomechanics laboratory at the University of Hull.

We are seeking to appoint a Sport Rehabilitation professional who will be expected to exercise a significant degree of specialist and independent responsibility, while supported by the Clinic Manager, Academic Team and Senior staff. You will have gained a relevant academic qualification (i.e. degree in Sport Rehabilitation or equivalent) and will hold professional registration with BASRaT or another governing body. With proven experience of clinic expertise in a commercial setting, you will have a strong commitment to high-quality customer care and an ability to work to work in a fast-based clinical environment while managing multiple tasks. For an informal discussion about this post or the Masters opportunity, please contact Mrs Lois Smith [email protected] or Miss Joanna Snook [email protected]
