• Planning and Development

We particularly welcome candidates who can embed real-world examples, professional casework, RICS-aligned methodologies and contemporary industry issues into their teaching.
An awareness of current national and international trends in the real estate sector is essential.
What you will contribute
You will:

• Deliver innovative, high-quality learning experiences that support student success.
• Translate professional experience into academic learning.
• Provide effective feedback, support and academic guidance.
• Supervise student work including dissertations, placements and applied projects.
• Participate in curriculum design, assessment and continuous programme enhancement.
• Engage in research, scholarship or professional practice relevant to the role.
• Work collaboratively across teams and contribute to a positive student community.

What are we looking for?
You will have:

• A good honours degree or equivalent professional qualification.
• Evidence of ongoing professional development.
• A PGCert/HEA Fellowship or be willing to work towards this.
• Membership of a professional body such as RICS, or commitment to working towards it.
• Strong knowledge of critical, practical and theoretical issues in Real Estate.
• Excellent communication, organisational and team-working skills.
• Digital confidence and the ability to use technology in learning and teaching.

Desirable:

• A postgraduate qualification or substantial professional experience.
