The School of Education has a large, well-established and highly respected tradition of initial teacher education (ITE). There is a long-established secondary PGCE programme and an innovative and growing primary PGCE programme. The School also has a well-established PGCES programme that provides the PGCE qualification to SCITT providers. In addition, from September 2025, the School will also be running a Mathematics and Education Secondary Teacher Degree Apprenticeship (TDA).
About the role:
* Lead and contribute to teaching on the PGCE English course.
* Support and tutor beginning teachers, ensuring they develop as inclusive practitioners who can meet the needs of all learners.
* Contribute to the development, teaching and tutoring on other ITE programmes (PGCES, TDA), and, potentially, to other programmes offered by the School (e.g. the BA Education, MA Education or PGCE International).
* Support school-based partners to ensure beginning teachers have a coherent experience across their course and they forge strong links between theory and practice.
* Play an active role in curriculum development and research-informed teaching.
We are seeking someone with:
* Significant experience working in UK schools, ideally in a range of settings.
* Experience of a range of roles in schools demonstrating a broad perspective of education.
* An understanding of the challenges and opportunities in teacher education.
* A background in English education, with the ability to engage and inspire future teachers.
* A commitment to fostering inclusive and research-informed teaching practices.
* The ability to contribute to wider discussions and developments about teacher education beyond subject specialism.
The post is offered on a permanent, full-time (36.25 hours per week) contract. The role starts in September. Job share arrangements may be considered.
Applicants should hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (secondary), or equivalent, and a master's degree, or equivalent, in a relevant area. They should also have substantive teaching experience in secondary English education in the UK and experience of supporting student teachers or ECTs.
