Job description

Closing Date: Monday 09 June 2025

Interview Date: Friday 20 June 2025

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for one academic year.

Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) is located on a beautifully green and pleasant campus just a few minutes’ walk from Lincoln Cathedral, Castle, and the old Roman city. Our story began in the 1860s as an Anglican teacher training college for women, which makes us one of the oldest Higher Education Institutions in the UK. Since then, we've grown, adapted, and modernised to become the thriving university we are today. We're still experts in teaching and education, but we've now got a wider portfolio of exciting degree courses than ever before. We currently offer courses in a wide range of subjects, from Undergraduate Degree level to PhD, and much more in between.

We are seeking to appoint a collegial, enthusiastic lecturer with relevant research, teaching and practice expertise in education, and we would particularly welcome applications from those with specialisms in primary or secondary teaching roles. The Professional Practice programmes are designed for work-based learners across two distinct pathways: early childhood, primary and secondary education. The programmes are taught in the afternoons and into the evenings, with a mix of in person and online to accommodate the working patterns of our learners.

The postholder would ideally hold Qualified Teacher Status and experience in teaching a range of age groups, along with a demonstrable passion for their subject and a commitment to providing a first-class student experience. The successful candidate would be expected to contribute to core delivery on the Professional Practice programmes and to play a part in recruitment and research supervision.

BGU offers a generous employee benefits package including:

• 35 days holiday for Grades 7+
• Plus 3 additional discretionary days annual leave over the Christmas period
• Various pension scheme options including a Teachers Pension scheme offering up to 23.68% Employer Contribution, and BG Flex (a private pension scheme managed by Aviva) offering a 10% employer contribution and the employee contributions are voluntary and flexible.
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Electric Car Salary Sacrifice Scheme
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme including free online GP services and face to face counselling sessions
• Agile Working Scheme to support employees work-life balance
