We are renowned for excellence in research, ranking 5th in REF 2021, and teaching, as recognised by our Teaching Excellence Framework Gold award.
Role The Department of Education is seeking to appoint a Lecturer (0.5fte) to work on the department's new PGCE Primary programme. The appointee will work alongside the Primary Programme Leader and develop teaching and learning strategy in relation to Primary ITT, and the design and implementation of the Primary ITT curriculum. They will also work alongside the current Director of Initial Teacher Training (DITT) (who also leads on secondary courses) to ensure compliance for Ofsted purposes.
The Department has a long track record of working with schools to deliver research- informed professional teacher training courses and already offers a secondary University of York PGCE programme and School Direct routes. From 2024/25 our Lead Partner is Pathfinder TSH, which is where the PGCE Primary course will be based in the first instance.
As a PGCE ITT Lecturer, the role includes responsibility for helping to design and then deliver the Professional Learning programme for approximately 20-50 students annually and the successful applicant will contribute to subject curriculum area teaching, in particular the appointee will need to have expertise in phonics (researched based and/or track record of successful teaching of phonics).
