We are looking for a full time Principal Lecturer to join the Quality Enhancement and Student Success (QESS) Portfolio based at City Campus until July 2014.

Excellent communication skills, including presentation and facilitation skills are essential within the role.

The ability to lead and coordinate educational change projects across the institution is essential.
