Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate their experience of leading and motivating groups of people, collegiate working and their organisational skills.  Successful candidates will be expected to demonstrate how they will keep abreast of latest developments in this subject area and external best practice benchmarks.

The successful candidate will be supported in this role by an experienced senior lecturer as a mentor.
