Lecturer in Chemistry

We are welcoming applications for a Lecturer in Chemistry on a part time, permanent basis.

Joining us as a Lecturer in Chemistry, you must deliver excellent and inclusive teaching and learning in the classroom so that learners are inspired to succeed and progress. You will integrate appropriate and inspirational curriculum resources including ILT into lessons and plan delivery so that schemes of work and lesson plans support achievement.

Undertaking ongoing high quality formative and summative assessment of learners’ work, both in class and through regular out of class activity to monitor progress, you must aim to ensure that learners succeed through progress reviews and initiate and respond to new curriculum developments and plan resources as appropriate.

A degree or equivalent in a Chemistry or a related subject is essential, as is experience of successful teaching on Chemistry related courses, ideally in Further Education (or teaching practice for ECT’s). Candidates must also hold a full teaching qualification, such as PGCE/PGDE.

The role requires an individual with the ability to deliver exceptional teaching and learning and inspire, motivate and engage learners. Capable of producing effective schemes of work and lesson plans, you should demonstrate a background of inclusive and challenging teaching strategies and of supporting students to attend by meeting their individual needs.
