We welcome applications from those with professional experience in commercial or residential real estate, consultancy, development, investment, or the public sector, including those working towards RICS membership.

You do not need extensive teaching experience. What matters is your ability to translate professional practice into engaging learning experiences and to contribute to a supportive and learner-centred environment.

As a Lecturer, you will design and deliver high-quality teaching, contribute to curriculum development, supervise student projects, and support students through both academic and pastoral guidance.

• Real Estate & Property Law and Practice
• Valuation & Real Estate Investment Management
• Commercial Real Estate
• Planning and Development

We particularly welcome candidates who can embed real-world examples, professional casework, RICS-aligned methodologies and contemporary industry issues into their teaching.

An awareness of current national and international trends in the real estate sector is essential.

What you will contribute

You will:

• Deliver innovative, high-quality learning experiences that support student success.
• Translate professional experience into academic learning.
• Provide effective feedback, support and academic guidance.
• Supervise student work including dissertations, placements and applied projects.
• Participate in curriculum design, assessment and continuous programme enhancement.
• Engage in research, scholarship or professional practice relevant to the role.
• Work collaboratively across teams and contribute to a positive student community.

What are we looking for?

You will have:

• A good honours degree or equivalent professional qualification.
• Evidence of ongoing professional development.
• A PGCert/HEA Fellowship or be willing to work towards this.
• Membership of a professional body such as RICS, or commitment to working towards it.
• Strong knowledge of critical, practical and theoretical issues in Real Estate.
• Excellent communication, organisational and team-working skills.
• Digital confidence and the ability to use technology in learning and teaching.

Desirable:

• A postgraduate qualification or substantial professional experience.
• A doctorate (or progress towards one).
• Evidence of contributions to knowledge (e.g., publications or professional outputs).
