We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The School of Education enjoys a strong reputation for its vibrant undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, along with exciting local, regional and international partnerships, and sector-leading student opportunities and enrichment.

Our Initial Teacher Education programmes have been recognised for their quality by Ofsted, and our forward-thinking programme teams benefit from positive, collaborative relationships with a range of committed school partners across the region. We expect our students to experience the very best practice-based teaching and learning in the classroom and now seek an enthusiastic and committed University Teacher to support teaching, learning and assessment needs. There will also be some classroom support required for other subject areas in the School of Education as appropriate.

Key aspects of the role include:

1. With supervision - and as part of a teaching team, assist in the delivery of teaching and associated student activities within established programmes.
2. Provide support to the teaching process. This includes supporting the practical planning and preparation for lessons, organising, ordering and managing materials as required throughout the academic year.
3. Contribute to the planning of teaching programmes and activities - including in-class preparation of materials and being responsible for ensuring that teaching needs are supported and supervised for practical work.
4. Be familiar with subject-based pedagogy and any associated materials as appropriate.
5. Undertake organisational and administrative tasks to support the team.
6. Contribute to wider school/university activities which support teaching, learning and general student support.

This is your opportunity to be a key contributor to providing a high quality, exceptional and transformative educational experience for new teachers and other students in our School, and to be part of our continued development. We believe that LJMU is an environment that will enable your successes to be recognised, celebrated and rewarded. You will join a team of staff with significant real-world experience and a range of research interests.
