You will be joining a talented team who are leading the way in modern learning, committed to widening access and participation in veterinary education. The School is developing further research activities and postgraduate teaching opportunities, along with bespoke teaching and research environments.
You will support the School by providing academic leadership, enhancing the achievement of excellent quality and performance standards, and contributing to the development and implementation of policies and practices to ensure effective deployment of resources.

The successful candidate will have a strong record of successful academic leadership, including programme and curriculum development and delivery, constructive alignment, instructional design, and quality enhancement. You will be able to envision the future of veterinary and animal science education, identifying emerging trends and technologies that can be integrated into teaching, knowledge exchange and research.
You will have knowledge of QAA and regulatory processes and procedures related to management of course quality and delivery, as well as a commitment to good animal welfare and ethical animal use in veterinary and animal science education.
What we can offer you:
Our people are our most important asset. We’ll encourage you to make the most of your talents and continually develop your skills and knowledge. As well as realising your career ambitions, you’ll be making a positive difference to other people’s lives. We also offer a fantastic package of rewards and lifestyle benefits – from an attractive annual leave entitlement to access to a comprehensive employee benefits platform.
