• Design high-quality online and in-person teaching and learning material aligned with the CEFR and teach French courses online.
• Develop teaching and assessment materials for self-access, extracurricular and credited modules.
• Provide constructive feedback to support learner engagement and progression.
• Contribute to course evaluation, quality enhancement and programme development.
• Work closely with the Head of Modern Languages and other colleagues across the university to ensure a coherent and high-quality learning experience.

We are looking for people who have:

• Degree-level education in languages (or equivalent professional experience).
• French language proficiency at C1 level or above.
• A successful track record of teaching French in higher education.
• Experience in designing learning materials and confidence using VLEs and digital teaching tools.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• Private Medical Scheme and Life Assurance
