At University of Hull, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in University of Hull workplace.

Who are we looking to recruit ?

As this is a role which is practice oriented we want you to have qualified as a Solicitor or Barrister and either have or can obtain a Practising certificate. You need to be able to show that you have been qualified for at least 5 years and if you have an interest in Social justice this would be especially of interest.

We also expect that you will be able to teach on our specific modules- Family law or Criminal Evidence law- each of which is taught in a practice focused way, so your practice experience will be invaluable to our students.

We hope that you will also be interested in forging links with practices, as well as external relationships, with a view to carrying out practice based research, responding to calls for contributions to reform within the legal services sector or your area of legal interest. We will provide you with relevant training and support to ensure that you will reach your potential.

If this is of interest, and I hope that it is, then please get in touch with me – Dr Caroline Gibby – Head of law on c.j.gibby@hull.ac.uk
