Senior Professional / Professional Tutor in Education (Geography)

Closing date: 23/03/25 at midnight

The School of Education at Liverpool Hope has a long history of training teachers, with well-established Partnerships across the North West. Teacher Education has been taking place since 1844. Our history of excellence in Teacher Education can be traced back to our three founding colleges who came together to form the unique ecumenical institution Liverpool Hope University. We are a teaching institution with research embedded across all of our courses.

Building upon our success, we are now seeking experienced colleagues to join us to make a major contribution to the development of the Secondary Geography provision within the School.

The role will be of considerable significance moving forward, and we are looking for applicants who have the professional expertise, drive, and commitment to ensure that the curriculum is ambitious, carefully sequenced, and underpinned by our commitment to inclusion and social justice. The person appointed will have a high level of expertise in geography education. Whilst the main role will be as a secondary geography tutor, there is an expectation that the successful candidate will also contribute towards teaching and curriculum development on the primary team. As a highly-skilled professional, substantial recent experience in a professional context such as HEI, ITE curriculum development, school leadership, experience across multiple key stages, and the ability to offer additionality to the role would be beneficial.

We are looking for professionals who understand the importance of the university-school partnership and will be skilled in strengthening relationships with schools. The post is permanent so we are keen to recruit somebody who complements our team.

We are looking for an individual who will bring enthusiasm and a sense of vocation for their chosen subject and profession, with demonstrable successful experience in an educational context.  You will be supported to develop fully as a leading Teacher Educator; this will include training and professional development. Bringing substantial, recent, and relevant professional experience, which may be within an HEI, you will be looking for an opportunity to work with others to ensure that Hope ECTs and graduates continue to be effective, reflective, fully informed, and committed curriculum shapers of the future.

We recruit staff nationally and internationally as we seek out the best to help build Hope for the future.  If you join us you will be doing so at an exciting and challenging time as we work to build a liberal arts inspired university of distinction in the UK.  If you have the energy, drive and commitment to assist in this task, we would be delighted to hear from you.
