The Role
 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced individual with an understanding of the challenges facing Higher Education academic and teaching staff. The role involves working with staff (both early career and more experienced) by contributing to the programmes offered through the Centre and by involvement in non-credit-bearing activity. You may be based in a University academic department and have gained such experience through developmental work such as mentoring. You may, alternatively, have experience of working as a teacher educator. You will be able to demonstrate relevant experience of planning and delivering professional development, a sound understanding of current developments in HE and familiarity with relevant literature. We would particularly welcome applicants with expertise to contribute across the range of our taught programmes, and to the development of our research in Higher Education.

The Person

You will hold a higher degree (Masters or PhD or equivalent) and a postgraduate training qualification in the area of post-compulsory teaching and learning, such as the PGCE in Further or Higher Education or HEA or SEDA Fellowship.  You will have recent HE experience as a lecturer in an academic discipline, either by contributing to a programme similar to the postgraduate Certificate in HE or by delivering professional development at a higher professional level to colleagues in FE or HE.  With experience of initial academic professional development you will have an understanding of the British higher education system and the roles of academic staff, their interests and the obstacles they face, especially at the beginning of their career.  You will have a thorough understanding of current developments and literature relevant to learning and teaching in HE along with sound self management skills including good time management and organisational skills.
