Adept at conveying ideas to students from a range of backgrounds, you will also bring a deep dedication to closing the award gap, gender equality, & LGBTQIA awareness/visibility/empowerment. You will also enjoy developing professional relationships with students, colleagues, employers, and outside agencies alike.

You can look forward to a warm, sincere, welcome, genuine camaraderie and mobility in an institution led with passion, visibility, and purpose. Your impact, resilience and sense of collegiality will directly contribute to UEL’s future and those of the students whose lives you will touch and change forever.
