What does the role involve?
As a senior lecturer and team lead, you will combine educational leadership with subject-matter expertise in the field of safety and security. Your responsibilities will include:

- Planning and ensuring the delivery of high-quality education;
- Safeguarding the quality and coherence of the curriculum;
- Potentially teaching an introductory course on safety and security;

You will facilitate change, motivate others, and foster an environment where colleagues and students are encouraged to participate and share ideas. This approach enables us to continuously improve our curriculum—keeping it attractive, relevant, and responsive to student needs.
Because our learning environment is international, with staff and students from a wide range of cultural and professional backgrounds, we offer a dynamic and rewarding workplace that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
