We are looking for someone who has excellent organisational skills and the ability to work across multiple projects throughout the College simultaneously. The main focus of the role is to lead our CPD route to Advance HE Fellowship (D1, D2, D3), increasing our numbers of Fellows in line with our targets, and expanding the provision to reach more people who teach or support learning. Our ideal candidate would have experience as an academic developer or academic, with D3 Senior Fellowship or near to completion, and with a keen sense of supporting our work in equality and diversity and the student experience.
