You will work closely with the Programme Directors and Module Leaders within the Department to deliver new and innovative teaching sessions as the Department moves towards a new, blended method of delivering material to its students. You will also assist with developing assessment materials, conducting assessments, and providing timely feedback to students on their progress and attainment.

Experience in successfully delivering a mathematics provision to undergraduate or postgraduate students is highly desirable, as is experience delivering material via online platforms such as Zoom, BlackBoard etc. You will be hardworking, motivated and student-focused, and able to adapt to new situations and requirements.
