This will include preparing students, developing and maintaining relationships with placement providers and supervisors, supporting delivery, and contributing to the monitoring, evaluation and quality assurance of placements.

The role has a teaching and scholarship focus. You will be supported to develop your academic practice and educational scholarship, including completion of a postgraduate certificate in higher education and professional recognition through Advance HE where required.
