"Lecturer - Primary Initial Teacher Education - Primary Mathematics and Science"

This is an exciting time to join the Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett University. As well as becoming one of the best-performing providers of teacher education in the country, we have developed a reputation for innovation in our teaching, curriculum and partnership work. We have also created a strategy to embed research into everything we do, but not just any research – we want to develop research that improves the life chances of children and young people, creating real impact in regional, national and international contexts. We are also committed to embedding our practice into our extensive partnership, funding collaborative practitioner research in schools, evaluating private sector corporate and social responsibility projects, and supporting social enterprises to build capacity. Amongst all staff there is a strong commitment to social justice, and this informs all we do at the Carnegie School of Education.

As a result of growing student numbers, we are seeking to appoint an inspirational additional Lecturer in Primary Initial Teacher Education. We especially welcome applications from those who have experience in Primary with subject specialism in Primary Mathematics and Science. With highly motivated staff, a rapidly growing research culture and a large, effective partnership across the north, successful candidates will bring a passion for the subject, for inclusive education, and will contribute to our reputation as an innovative, values-based School of Education. Candidates should have relevant school experience and QTS. Successful candidates without a Masters or PhD (or professional equivalent) will be encouraged and supported to register for it.

Potential candidates are encouraged to make informal contact with the Head of Subject, Dr Pinky Jain – Pinky.Jain@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.
