We are seeking to recruit a dynamic and experienced senior lecturer of Physical Education and Youth Development to join an ambitious team with industry relevant programmes and contemporary approaches to teaching and learning in H.E. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will be able to draw upon extensive experience in PE teaching/teaching PE in H.E. to enrich teaching, curriculum design and knowledge exchange.

The post holder will undertake teaching and assessment duties in foundation, undergraduate and potentially postgraduate programmes within the Department and contribute to associated curriculum development and planning. You will be expected to contribute and convene a range of modules, ensuring their quality against national and University benchmarks, and embed good practice in inclusivity and diversity within curriculum design and teaching practices. In addition to being able to contribute to a range of subject areas within physical education, we are particularly keen to hear from applicants with a knowledge of contemporary PE in inclusive environments. We require the successful applicants to have an ability to contribute to or lead modules drawing upon two or more of the following areas of specialism: inclusive P.E., gender and PE/sport, sociology and social justice in PE/sport, adapted physical activity, outdoor and adventurous activity, child/adolescent health and well-being, gymnastics and expressive arts (and how these contribute to holistic development), preparing students for PETE and innovations in physical education.

Because of the nature of some of the teaching, the postholder will need a current DBS.

Some of the main responsibilities for the lecturing role are listed below (this is indicative rather than exhaustive):

• To undertake teaching and assessment across a range of modules and programmes including at foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
• To develop and prepare learning resources/assessment guides in support of teaching and learning and provide online resources.
