About the role

We are seeking enthusiastic individuals with appropriate disciplinary experience, for the post of Lecturer, Assessment Advisor, with a focus on Assessment and Feedback.   

In the last year, King’s Academy launched an ambitious project focussing on Transforming Assessment for Students at King’s, supported by a team of Assessment Advisors working closely with Faculties to provide expertise in enhancing assessment and feedback practice.

These roles will support the Faculty of Dentistry and Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, Faculty of Social Science and Public Policy, Faculty of Natural, Mathematics and Engineering Sciences, and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.   Please note, the allocation of Advisors to faculties will be determined following the interview stage and through further discussions between the panel and with candidates.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to move into or progress in an educational development role while specialising in the area of assessment and feedback.

Please note of the four positions, we currently have funding for x1 role on a permanent basis (advertised under separate advertisement).  x3 (three) roles are advertised on a Fixed Term basis until 31st July 2026 in the first instance, though we intend to seek further funding to make these permanant roles beyond July 2026.
