You will work closely with other Associate Lecturers and Tutors to ensure effective course delivery. Your responsibilities will include the development of assessments and materials, representing your modules at exam boards, and, as well as teaching classes, marking assessments, and conducting tutorials.

The role is available on a full-time basis, but part-time hours can also be considered. If part-time, working days will be agreed based on the student timetable each term.

You will have knowledge and experience of teaching Computer Science/IT at either Level 3 or Level 4, in addition to a valid teaching qualification, to develop seminars and provide relevant learning support to students across different levels of academic ability. You will have highly developed communication skills to engage effectively with a wide ranging audience, both orally and in writing.
