Job description
The University of Law (ULaw) is one of the world's largest law schools. With an impressive history dating back to 1876, we employ over 900 staff and have over 14,000 students studying on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, along with an alumni network in excess of 100,000. We were the first-ever independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers and in 2012 we gained university title. With a rich heritage and a reputation for innovation and contemporary teaching practices, we continuously focus on developing the best legal and business minds.

In 2016, we opened our leading Business School, further enhancing our reputation as a full service legal, business and educational training specialist, operating from campuses throughout the UK, Berlin and Hong Kong and an Online campus.

What really sets us apart from other universities is the guiding principle that future lawyers and business leaders should learn in a realistic, professional and contemporary context, with plenty of practical interactive engagement. That's why we keep our contact hours high and our teaching groups small.

You will be responsible for the quality of the design and delivery of the suite of Online Programmes in the Business School, showing a high level of proactivity and sense of ownership. This will include liaison with the Director of the Business School, the Academic Resource and Quality Manager and the Online Campus, among others. You will also support the marketing, recruitment and admissions activities.

Other tasks include, the coordination and production of the design and delivery of course materials, the responsibility for all aspects of the delivery of the student experience, the enhancement of student performance and the assistance for the design and delivery of blended programmes, being particularly responsible for the online components.

You will also devote a part of your time to other academic activities, particularly teaching, marking, modules moderation, dissertations supervision or pastoral care, online or offline.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Andres Perez on 01483 216851or email andres.perez@law.ac.uk

No agencies please. 

Some posts within the University are subject to a DBS check - you will be notified of this during the application process. 

As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals are currently under-represented within the University – which does not reflect our diverse student body - we would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates. All appointments will be made on merit.
