On the 1 August 2026, the University of Greenwich and the University of Kent will form a pioneering new multi-university group called London and South-East (LASE) University Group. Should you join us, you will be employed by LASE but will work as part of the University of Greenwich academic division, contributing to its distinct strengths, community and identity while also being part of a wider group that brings together the scale, resilience and shared ambition of both universities. Through LASE we aim to deliver outstanding education, impactful research, and meaningful regional and global impact.
The School of Education, a thriving department of around 45 academic staff, represents a continuation of teacher training started in 1906 at Avery Hill College. Working in partnership with a broad range of educational settings across London and the South East of England; the School delivers programmes in Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Further Education, and advanced and professional development at Master’s and Doctoral levels. The School is part of the University of Greenwich’s highly impactful Faculty of Education, Health and Human Sciences.
Drawing on long-established and extensive partnerships across a wide range of professional sectors, the Faculty has a strong focus on professional workforce development. Embedded in the community but with a clear global outlook, the Faculty offers a welcoming and supportive environment to students from a wide range of backgrounds, and at various stages of academic and professional development. We aim to transform the lives of our students by providing education that provides the skills and knowledge to make a real difference to local and global communities, and empower and enable our learners to be creative, confident, and critical contributors to society.
Cross-professional collaboration is at the heart of what we do, demonstrable in the work of the Faculty’s Institute for Lifecourse Development (ILD) where professionals from many different fields work closely together with researchers and stakeholders from public, charitable and voluntary organisations seeking to reduce inequalities and promote lifelong good health and wellbeing, inclusive education, decent work, and peace and justice for all. All academic staff join one of our seven ILD Research Centres.
Reporting to the Primary Academic Portfolio Lead, you will join our enthusiastic Primary team, teaching across both our primary programmes and being a lead mentor to mentors in settings. Candidates will be required to have experience of teaching in Primary Schools settings, will be familiar with our training curriculum, and will also have good communication skills, be organised, and flexible with fluctuating workload throughout the year.
Should you have any queries, contact the Head of School of Education (interim), Louise Atkins, at l.atkins@greenwich.ac.uk. Should you have any queries please contact the People Directorate Team on peopleoperationsdmin@gre.ac.uk.
We are committed to building a strong, diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We particularly encourage applications from those who are currently under-represented within the University of Greenwich. We do this through taking positive action such as encouraging applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, care leavers, disabled and LGBT+ people.
As part of our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, we are committed to promoting and supporting the physical and mental health of all our staff, and removing barriers to improve inclusion. We encourage applicants to disclose experience of mental health problems so we can support them fully during our recruitment process and make any necessary reasonable adjustments. Any information disclosed will be kept confidential and separate from the job application form.
