Leeds Trinity University is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Education to contribute to Initial Teacher Education across primary and secondary undergraduate and postgraduate provision. Based in the School of Education and Childhood, you will lead and deliver modules, develop and assess learning, supervise projects, dissertations and placements, provide academic and personal tutoring, and contribute to programme development, quality assurance, recruitment and student retention. You will also support teacher training delivered through university and lead-partner routes to qualified teacher status, including work within the primary partnership.

We are looking for a colleague with strong, current knowledge of education, teacher development and school-based training, supported by a relevant postgraduate qualification or equivalent professional experience. You will be able to connect theory with classroom practice, support trainees on placement, undertake relevant lead mentor training, and contribute to the supervision and quality assurance of school-based training. Experience of mentoring, partnership working, values-based recruitment and effective engagement with schools and external stakeholders will be particularly valuable.

You will be motivated, proactive and committed to collaborative and inclusive working. Alongside teaching, you will maintain currency in professional and academic practice and contribute to research, scholarship, knowledge exchange, continuing professional development and/or professional practice activity appropriate to your career stage. You will help trainees develop the knowledge, professional values, confidence and transferable skills required to thrive as reflective and effective teachers.
