Job description

Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

We are recruiting part-time (0.5 FTE) lecturers to join our team to contribute to our growing suite of postgraduate programmes in the Department of Health & Community Sciences at the University of Exeter Medical School, with a particular focus on the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (EGA) Degree Apprenticeship PGDip & MSc in Healthcare Leadership.

As an EGA lecturer and mentor, you will receive specific training to equip you for delivery of the EGA programme, marking of assessments, and mentoring students who you will support throughout their educational journey. You will be working alongside other EGA lecturers and the broader postgraduate faculty, including programme leads and the Director of Education and Student Experience, to ensure excellence of delivery in accordance with the University and Departmental Education Strategy. Across all areas of your work, you will be supported by experienced and collegial colleagues, as part of a vibrant team in which everyone is encouraged to develop as healthcare educators.
