He came back to work at Teesside University in 2002 and started teaching as a full-time member of staff in 2006. He teaches exercise physiology on several modules across several degree programs. Dominic completed his MSc Sport & Exercise degree at Teesside in 2007.

From 2009 to 2014 Dominic held the position as Sport Scientist for Great Britain national rock-climbing team, providing sport science support for both male and female teams.
