Lecturer - Secondary Initial Teacher Education - Physics

This is an exciting time to join the Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett University. As well as becoming one of the best-performing providers of teacher education in the country, we have developed a reputation for innovation in our teaching, having an anti-racist approach to ITE, curriculum and partnership work. We have also created a strategy to embed research into everything we do, but not just any research – we want to develop research that improves the life chances of all children and young people, creating real impact in regional communities, national and international contexts. We are also committed to embedding our approaches to social justice into our extensive partnership, funding collaborative practitioner research in schools, evaluating private sector corporate and social responsibility projects, and supporting social enterprises to build capacity. Amongst all staff, there is a strong commitment to social justice and having an anti-racist approach to ITE, and this informs all we do at the Carnegie School of Education.

As a result of growing student numbers, we are seeking to appoint an inspirational additional Lecturer in Secondary Initial Teacher Education. We especially welcome applications from those who have experience in Secondary with subject specialism in Physics and Mathematics. With highly motivated staff, a rapidly growing research culture and a large, effective partnership across the north, successful candidates will bring a passion for the subject, for inclusive education, and will contribute to our reputation as an innovative, values-based School of Education. Candidates should have relevant school experience and QTS. Successful candidates without a Masters or PhD (or professional equivalent) will be encouraged and supported to register for it.

Working here means you will also have access to a wide range of benefits including our generous pension schemes, excellent holiday entitlements, flexible working, reduced study fees, subsidised fitness facilities, and a lot more.

We welcome applications from all individuals and particularly from black and ethnic minority candidates as members of these groups are currently under-represented at this level of post. All appointments will be based on merit.
