Job Description

Assistant Lecturers are early-career or developing academics who contribute to teaching and student support under structured mentorship and supervision. The role is designed to build teaching capability, confidence and professional identity, supporting progression to Lecturer level.

Assistant Lecturers do not hold full accountability for modules, assessment outcomes, or quality assurance. Instead, they develop their practice through co-teaching or supported full teaching responsibilities, supported assessment activity and guided engagement with UKMC academic frameworks and professional standards.

Role Delivery Focus (PFF/PFD)

The primary focus of this role is the delivery of Preparing for Foundation (PFF) and Preparing for Degree (PFD) provision.

Assistant Lecturers will deliver most of their teaching within PFF and PFD timetabled sessions, supporting students in developing academic skills, confidence, English proficiency and readiness for higher education study.

They will work closely with Quality and Compliance colleagues, as well as assessment delivery officers, to ensure alignment with institutional frameworks, including the Inclusive Curriculum Framework (ICF), English Proficiency Framework (EPF) and SEBAC.

They will collaborate with Admissions teams to support transition points into programmes, ensuring coherence between pre-entry, onboarding and early-stage academic development.

They will be coordinated under a Lead for PFF/PFD, who provides academic direction, consistency of delivery and alignment across campuses.

They may also provide occasional lecture or seminar cover within their subject specialism, where appropriate, to support programme delivery and further develop disciplinary teaching experience.

This delivery model ensures meaningful contribution to student success, continuation and belonging, while enabling development within a structured and supported environment.

Support the preparation and delivery of learning activities aligned to approved module materials and learning outcomes.

Prepare and maintain learning materials and activities on the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) under supervision.

Apply inclusive teaching practices that support student engagement, belonging and continuation.

Assessment and Academic Practice (Supervised)

Undertake first marking, second marking, and moderation activities under guidance, ensuring alignment with assessment criteria and regulations.

Support the promotion of assessment literacy and academic integrity.

Develop understanding of assessment standards, feedback practices and moderation processes.

Escalate assessment concerns promptly to module teaching teams and mentors.

Student Support, Engagement and Attendance

Monitor student engagement and attendance through teaching sessions and the VLE, reporting concerns promptly.

Support academic development through tutorials, workshops and formative feedback.

Work collaboratively with PATs, Wellbeing Officers and academic services to ensure integrated student support.

Engage with student feedback and adapt teaching approaches with mentor guidance.

Contribute to “you said, we did” feedback processes at session level.

Contribute to curriculum enhancement or employability initiatives where appropriate.

Work collaboratively with teaching teams, PATs, Wellbeing and academic services.

Participate in meetings, training and development activities.

Promote and adhere to Equal Opportunities policies and professional standards of conduct.
