The successful candidate will also contribute to subject and module leadership, course development and teaching in their specialist area on our range of undergraduate and postgraduate ITE courses, as well as on postgraduate professional development programmes for teachers and other professionals working with children. In order to maintain our strong reputation for and commitment to an excellent student experience, we are seeking an inspirational teacher for this role who can model excellent practice in their teaching and inspire trainee teachers to achieve their potential in the classroom.
