- Develop and apply innovative and appropriate teaching and assessment techniques, creating materials which generate interest, understanding and enthusiasm amongst students
- Carry out on-going curriculum review and development, including teaching content and materials, and contribute to the development of teaching, learning and assessment strategies

For a salary of £40,000, for example, the University would pay just over £11,400 in the first year of your employment and you would earn a pension of £702 p.a. for that year (payable from your State Pension Age).
