We are seeking to appoint an Academic Developer to work with the Head of CELT to develop academic and professional services staff members to use engaging, inclusive and innovative approaches to learning and teaching that yield outstanding outcomes for our diverse student population.

The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) aims to provide institutional leadership for developing innovative and outstanding teaching practices. Our focus is therefore on continuously reviewing the ways in which students learn and enhancing how that learning is facilitated. In this way we can raise the status and reputation of UEL as a beacon of excellence in learning, teaching and assessment. We will support our aims by delivering and curating learning activities, providing practical support and promoting recognition and reward schemes to support colleagues to innovate and enhance learning and teaching practices.

You will work collaboratively with academic and professional staff to make a positive impact on student attainment, retention, and progression in line with UEL’s Vision 2028 strategy. Vision 2028 has been developed to transform our curriculum, pedagogy, research impact and partnerships to make a positive difference to student, graduate and community success. Our ambitious but achievable goal is to become the leading careers-focused, enterprising university in the UK, one which both prepares our students for the jobs of the future and provides the innovation to drive that future sustainably and inclusively.

You will also work with the CELT team as well as academic and professional services colleagues to provide a proactive, innovative and creative approach to the design and delivery of research-informed academic development (including workshops, CPD offerings, online resources, reward and recognition schemes etc.).

The University of East London is one of the most diverse and vibrant universities in the global capital. Our pioneering and forward-thinking vision is making a positive and significant impact to the communities we serve, inspiring both our staff and students to reach their full potential. Join us and #BeTheChange.
