What you’ll be doing

You will work collaboratively to provide services in support of Learning and Teaching at Nottingham Trent University, identifying and undertaking opportunities for Library engagement within and beyond the University. You will coordinate Academic Engagement Team: Learning and Teaching (AET: LT) activities within designated disciplinary areas as well as being responsible for the management of a Team of Academic Skills Tutors, including Maths and Statistics, and the promotion and development of the Student Mentor service. On occasion, there is an expectation that you will deputise for the Academic Engagement Manager: Learning and Teaching.

What you’ll bring

You will have an excellent knowledge of developments in Higher Education, with an appreciation of the value of academic literacy and numeracy, and how these academic skills might be developed. You will also bring an in-depth knowledge of pedagogy and modern teaching and learning methods, e-learning developments, and their service delivery implications, with an understanding of the importance of robust evaluation within the team to ensure that provision complements and exceeds activity undertaken by other HE and external providers.

You will have experience of working in an education or training environment having prepared resources for both online and face-to-face delivery, and ideally experience of staff recruitment, training and supervision (and line management).

For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly. To ensure the diverse needs of our team are met we actively encourage secondments and offer flexible part-time working patterns - we're focused on finding the right person for the role.

Closing date : 21st August

Interview date:  5th-6th September
