About the position
The Discipline of Paramedicine within the La Trobe Rural Health School serves to prepare graduates for the roles that paramedics will be expected to engage in, both now and in the future. Our key focus is to ensure graduate paramedics are able to make a difference to the communities they serve, and particularly to make rural health and wellbeing matter locally, nationally and internationally. At La Trobe, we are one of the few paramedicine programs to offer a 4-year Bachelor Honours degree, along with doing so in a regional location. We have a very strong alignment with community and public health.
The role of Paramedicine Discipline Lead will set the strategic direction for teaching and research in the area and support our team to continue to achieve high impact outcomes. The course enables graduates to achieve competencies required for practise in emergency medical response by ambulance services and the broader delivery of community health care and health promotion, supported by research and evidence generated from our School’s four philanthropic research centres/initiatives.
Appointments can be made to either teaching and research or teaching focussed positions. Completion of a Graduate Certificate of Higher Education (or equivalent) OR fellowship with Advance Higher Education will be highly regarded.

To be considered for this position, you will have
- Completion of a PhD or equivalent accreditation and standing recognised by the University/profession as appropriate for the relevant discipline areas.
