About the Job
0.6FTE/22.2 hours per week
Interview Date: W/C 12 January 2026
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the interdisciplinary courses that are within Education and Society. We are specifically looking for someone with an academic and practice background in Early Childhood and the Graduate Practitioner Competencies associated with this discipline. The post will involve contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and typically involve teaching face-to-face and online. Wider professional responsibilities will typically include working on Saturdays (generally for student recruitment), twilight teaching, engaging in partnership work with employers, research and enterprise development. The post requires the ability to involve and liaise with key stakeholders related to early childhood.
We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual. We understand this may vary between different areas of the University as well as from one person to another. With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.
This post is subject to a background disclosure check by the Disclosure and Barring Service before any appointment can be confirmed.
