Lecturer in Primary and Early Years Teacher Education

The Role

We are looking for a lecturer who can contribute to teacher training in undergraduate BA and postgraduate PGCE in primary education.

The role will include learning, teaching and assessment of students at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level. The role will also include working with partners who provide trainee education placements. We also encourage staff to continue to develop their own research profile and there are varied opportunities and support to do this for all academic staff.

Our aim is to provide the highest quality teaching and learning, through large and smaller group teaching and some online learning, the design of curricula, and the development of our teaching team's specialist skills.

You must have a postgraduate qualification and/or substantial professional experience in a relevant discipline and expertise in teaching a range of Primary and/or Early Years subjects, in addition to professional learning. The ability to design and deliver transformative and innovative learning experiences is also essential.
