Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The School of Law and Justice Studies at LJMU has a long tradition of marrying academic excellence and practical legal study. The School has a large suite of LLB, LLM, LPC and SQE programmes. The LLB has been adapted to include elements of preparation towards new routes to qualification under the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination.

The Legal Advice Centre in the School has been embedded into the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum to provide valuable experience and skills development for our undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The School is the home to the Centre for the Study of Law in Theory and Practice (LTAP). Whilst embracing a wide range of research interests the Centre has particular strengths in Public International Law and Human Rights, European Law, International Criminal Law, Banking Regulation and Finance Law. The School submitted successfully to the REF 2014 and 2021.  

As a Senior Teaching Fellow or Senior Lecturer in Teaching and Professional Practice in Law, you will be responsible for working with students while they prepare for their SQE or other future exams and training programmes. This role concerns the portfolio of professional programmes (LPC and SQE programmes) and any other undergraduate or postgraduate programme within the School of Law and Justice Studies as determined by the Director.  

Teaching areas of particular interest include Civil and Dispute Resolution and/or Property Law and Practice and legal writing.

Additionally, the expectation is that the successful candidate could contribute to the teaching of the key six legal skills (client interviewing, case and matter analysis, legal research, legal writing, legal drafting and advocacy).

Informal enquiries may be made to the Subject Head in Law, Beverley Caddick-Kala, email [email protected]  or SQE Programme Leader, Anita Ellis, email [email protected] . 

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do. Find out more about working at LJMU here . 

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you. 

LJMU values diversity and provides a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can fulfil their potential.

Please note all of our vacancies will be closed to applications at midnight on the advertised closing date, unless otherwise stated.
