The successful candidate will shape the subject pedagogy of beginning teachers on our courses, both local and international. The role will also provide opportunities to contribute to the wider course provision through teaching on the Professional Enquiry and Professional Practice modules, marking of academic work and selection of PGCE applicants.

The role also requires strong time‑management skills and self‑managing a complex portfolio of work allocation.
