Please follow the link above for the further particulars of this role before submitting an expression of interest.
Expressions of Interest should consist of a brief up-to-date CV with a covering letter of up to 500 words, outlining your suitability for the role and what you would like to achieve if appointed.
Candidate applications will be reviewed by a panel, and shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview. The interview will consist of a presentation and some questions to enable the panel to ascertain suitability for the position. The panel will always include members of School Executive.
Anyone with questions or interest in applying, and would like to discuss informally, please feel free to get in touch and this can be arranged.
Ensuring that our School is inclusive as possible is a fundamental part of what we do in SEED. We aim to redress staffing imbalances and inequalities. We promote equality and actively challenge unfair discrimination. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – people of all ages, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, and beliefs. However, we particularly encourage applications from staff who identify as women, colleagues with disabilities, and individuals from minority ethnic groups, because these groups are currently underrepresented at more senior levels in Higher Education.
