We will provide essential training to help you settle in as part of the team and to equip you to lead online and face-to-face learning events, and provide education supervision. Successful candidates who do not hold a certificate of education or teaching proficiency qualification will be required to complete The University of Manchester Statement of Teaching Proficiency. You will be expected to travel across England to facilitate learning and attend meetings.
