The University of Worcester (UW) has a reputation for its high quality and innovative provision in Education. As a 'good’ provider of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in FES (Ofsted 2023), we are nationally recognised for our overall quality and high sustained employment rates of our trainee teachers.
In this context, the Institute of Education is seeking to appoint an inspirational and excellent Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Teaching) with a strong commitment to developing a centre of excellence at the University.
The successful appointee will have significant and relevant FE teaching experience along with successful experience of initial teacher education.
We work with key partners (Halesowen College and BMET) to deliver the Diploma in Teaching (DiT) and we have a University of Worcester based PGCE FE course. We are ambitious to grow our FES work and the successful candidate will contribute to the aspirational planning.
In order to maintain our strong reputation for, and commitment to, an excellent student experience we are seeking an inspirational lecturer for this role who can model excellent practice in their teaching and inspire trainee teachers to achieve their full potential in the classroom.
A clear commitment to conducting individual or collaborative practice-based research which will inform your teaching and knowledge base as well as your educational practice would be desirable. We anticipate the successful applicant will actively engage in continuing their own professional and academic development, demonstrating their love of learning.
