The School of Education at Liverpool Hope has a long history of training teachers, with well-established Partnerships across the North-West. Teacher Education has been taking place since 1844. Our history of excellence in Teacher Education can be traced back to our three founding colleges who came together to form the unique ecumenical institution of Liverpool Hope University. We are a teaching institution with research embedded across all of our courses.
Senior Lecturer (Teaching & Learning) Secondary History (0.5 FTE)
Building upon our successes, we are now seeking an experienced colleague to join us to make a major contribution to the development of the Secondary History PGCE provision within the School. The role comprises teaching on the History PGCE programme, further developing the research‑informed curriculum, providing pastoral support to trainees, contributing to recruitment activities, visiting trainees in Partnership schools and supporting school‑based mentors. The successful candidate will also demonstrate additionality and the capacity and desire to support wider aspects of the programmes.
As a highly‑skilled professional, the person appointed will have a strong subject expertise in history and have the professional expertise and drive for training the next generation of Hope teachers. They will also align with our values and commitment to social justice and inclusion. Recent experience in a professional context such as HEI, ITE curriculum development, school leadership, experience across multiple key stages, and the ability to offer additionality to the role would be beneficial. We are also looking for professionals who understand the importance of the university‑school partnership and will be skilled in strengthening relationships with schools.
We are looking for an individual who will bring enthusiasm and a sense of vocation for their chosen subject and profession, with demonstrable successful experience in an educational context. You will be supported to develop fully as a leading Teacher Educator; this will include training and professional development. Bringing substantial, recent and relevant professional experience, which may be within HEI, you will be looking for an opportunity to work with others to ensure that Hope ECTs and graduates continue to be effective, reflective, fully informed and committed curriculum shapers of the future.
The post is permanent so we are keen to recruit somebody who complements our established and dedicated Secondary team.
We recruit staff nationally and internationally as we seek out the best to help build Hope for the future. If you join us you will be doing so at an exciting and challenging time as we work to build a liberal arts‑inspired university of distinction in the UK. If you have the drive and commitment to assist in this task, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Candidates should have a profile in line with criteria outlined in the Person Specification.
