You will demonstrate a commitment to contribute to this goal in student-focused, engaging and practical ways which reflect the University’s educational values. You will be part of an enthusiastic and motivated team delivering undergraduate and postgraduate courses within the portfolio of SSE, specifically those managed within the Department of Biological Sciences.

You will teach across our suite of biological science degrees, focusing on biochemistry and/or biomedical science. Additionally, candidates for Standard Academic contracts will have research expertise that aligns with the Worcester Biomedical Research Group.

We have two posts available: one full-time and one part-time (0.4 FTE / 2 days).

This interview process will take place in 2 parts:

- On-site teaching session: Thursday 7th May
- Candidates who are successful following the teaching session will then be invited for a remote interview: Thursday 14th May

What's in it for you?

- Annual incremental increase for up to £42,882, with the opportunity to progress to £46,735, subject to performance and the university reward scheme
- 47 days’ leave per year (inclusive of bank holidays and University closure days)
- Access to a range of benefits such as our Staff Retail Benefits Scheme, Cycle to Work Scheme and Tusker Car Leasing
- Wellbeing advice and support through our Employee Assistance Programme
- In-house training and development support
- A friendly, inclusive and supportive culture and work environment

Please note that if not already an employee of the University of Worcester, the appointed candidate will be employed through our subsidiary company Uniworc Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of Worcester. Appointees of Uniworc Limited will automatically be enrolled into the Aviva FlexHE defined contribution pension scheme (subject to earnings and other eligibility criteria).

Please note that this post does not meet the minimum salary requirements for visa sponsorship under the Skilled Worker Route. We are therefore unable to consider applicants for this post who will require sponsorship to work in the UK.

We value diversity and wish to promote equality at all levels
