Grade 7 - £39,906 to £44,746 per annum (depending on experience)

We are seeking a Spanish lecturer with a background in higher education to teach in both Spanish and English, helping students develop the language skills, business knowledge and international outlook to succeed in their studies and future careers.

You will play a central role in our International Business with Spanish course as well as teaching Spanish electives across the School. Through inclusive and engaging teaching, you will help students develop their language proficiency, cultural awareness and ability to use Spanish confidently within professional and international business contexts.

You will also draw on your experience of business education to contribute in English across our undergraduate provision. This will include supporting teaching and learning on introductory modules covering academic and professional development, international business, and people and organisational culture.

Informed by current scholarship and practice, you will use a range of teaching approaches and digital tools to create effective learning activities and resources. As a module leader, you will oversee teaching, assessment and feedback, maintain academic standards and contribute to curriculum development, quality assurance and continuous improvement.

You will also support students' wider academic and personal development, including helping them explore, prepare for and apply for placements and study abroad opportunities. Through this work, you will help students develop the independence, cultural understanding and confidence to live and work internationally.

We are looking for a collaborative and reflective academic who can communicate complex concepts clearly, motivate students and build positive relationships across our academic community.

You will have:

• a good honours degree, equivalent professional qualification or equivalent experience in a relevant discipline;
• native or near-native proficiency in Spanish;
• experience of delivering inclusive and engaging teaching in higher education; and
• experience of teaching business-related subjects, with the ability to deliver these in English across a range of undergraduate business modules.

Our ideal start date is mid-November to allow preparation ahead of Semester 2 teaching. The role is advertised on a full-time basis, although we welcome applications from candidates seeking to work 0.8 FTE. We are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements, subject to the teaching and other requirements of the role.

We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.
