Job Description

Forensic Science Lecturer

Temporary

Location: Yorkshire and the Humber

Do you have a background in forensic science and a passion for passing your knowledge on to the next generation?

About the Role

An education provider is looking to appoint a Forensic Science Lecturer to deliver high-quality teaching across its forensic science provision. You'll plan and deliver engaging lessons and practical sessions, create learning resources and assess learner progress, supporting students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to progress into higher education or employment.

If you're new to teaching, that's not a barrier. Industry professionals are supported to work towards a recognised teaching qualification while they work.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging lessons and practical laboratory sessions across forensic science programmes.
  • Teaching practical techniques alongside the scientific theory that underpins them.
  • Maintaining a safe, organised laboratory environment.
  • Assessing learner progress and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Maintaining accurate records of attendance, progress and achievement.
  • Contributing to curriculum development and the quality of teaching and learning.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A qualification at a level relevant to forensic or applied science
  • Strong subject knowledge across forensic science
  • The ability to engage and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching or assessing in a further education setting

If you're ready to inspire the next generation of forensic scientists, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Support to work towards recognised teaching qualification
