The posts will support staff in achieving teaching excellence through, for example, the facilitation of learning design workshops (e.g. CAIeRO, Carpe Diem and ABC) in collaboration with the Head of Academic Development and other key stakeholders.

The successful candidates will be expected to combine their expertise in learner-centred curriculum design, teaching practice, an ability to create highly engaging virtual learning environments, digital fluency and excellent collaborative working to role.
