Successful candidates will have a record of teaching (or evidence of an ability to teach) students across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in several current areas of need, such as (but not limited to) Contract, Tort, Land, Equity, Skills/advocacy, English Legal System, Commercial and Company Law.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual, with experience of legal practice, to take a lead on the co-curricular offering for law students at the university.

You will be expected to show leadership and administrative skills in organising events and enhancement activities, as well as contributing to teaching on at least one module as outlined above.  The role offers the chance to develop and progress in the education and student experience promotion pathway as part of a highly motivated and supportive team.  This post will be particularly attractive to individuals with experience of legal practice or equivalent seeking to progress their careers in higher education.
