You will deliver teaching through lectures, seminars, tutorials and other appropriate methods, provide timely assessment and feedback, and support students during practice education, which may include activity within clinical environments.

You will contribute to the development, review and delivery of innovative programmes that embed key skills and sustainable development goals.

You will be an effective and inclusive educator with excellent communication, presentation and interpersonal skills.
