Levels 4 and 5 – International Year One and Year Two

You will have substantial relevant experience, the knowledge and skills to teach on a range of modules within the Business and Management portfolio and the professional confidence and inter-personal skills needed to support the development of colleagues involved in delivering Business and Management modules.
Located within the University of Bradford’s city-centre campus, the College has a diverse student community and a team of teaching and non-teaching staff committed to helping them succeed and achieve their academic and longer-term career goals. If you have the right mix of professional and personal attributes to make a positive contribution in this role, we look forward to receiving your application.
