SalaryAbout us
Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) is a globally leading independent arts, design, performance and media university.
At AUB we nurture creativity, engage communities, collaborate with industry and make a difference.
Our commitment to EDI
Our core commitment to diversity, inclusion and a sustainable future truly values the diversity of our students and staff, creating an inclusive environment where everyone's identities and talents are valued and respected. We welcome applications from all areas of the community and particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds and people who are disabled, who are currently underrepresented in our workforce.
About the role
We are delighted to offer an opportunity to lead our renowned Master of Architecture (RIBA/ARB Part 2) course, part of the School of Design and Architecture at Arts University Bournemouth.
We are looking for an experienced, passionate and talented senior lecturer and tutor, who is able to lead the course effectively using your skills and expertise to apply University regulations, policies and practices, and also be empowered to resolve challenges and opportunities that occur, demonstrating patience, reflection and self-awareness in learning from events.
As Course Leader, you will exhibit the qualities of leadership to those around you as well as nurturing the same in those with whom you work most closely. Leading by example, you will represent not only your course, staff and students, but the values for which the University stands.
You will be working with a diverse range of staff and students, you will be empathetic and respectful of difference, clear in communication, flexible in approach and, above all, active in listening. You will be central in promoting a culture of transparency, respect and trust.
This is an exciting time to lead the MA Architecture course, higher education courses need to navigate a period of significant challenge and change: increasingly competitive student recruitment; the quality, currency, relevancy and value for money of a university education; readiness for graduate employment; student health and wellbeing; embedding diversity, inclusivity and sustainability in everything we do and the accelerating global impact of digital technologies.
With the conclusion of ARB's consultation on the new regulatory framework for educating future architects, and confirmation of the RIBA's position, the courses in architecture will need a clarity of vision and purpose to not only ensure that they meet and maintain their professional accreditation but also support and prepare their students for their future in the creative industries, their future practice, or a portfolio career across a diversity of graduate roles.
As a senior academic in the School, you will be expected to rise to, and meet, these challenges through drawing on the combined knowledge, skills and experience of all stakeholders and networks, both within the AUB and externally, as well as, of course, your current students and alumni.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Course Leader for BA (Hons) Architecture (RIBA/ARB Part 1), to enable close integration and promote progression from Part 1 to Part 2, ultimately ensuring growth and the ongoing strength of the Architecture offer at AUB.
Our benefits
In meeting your performance expectations, each year you'll have a salary increase in line with the grade of your role. As well as this there is an annual cost of living increase. AUB provides generous holiday entitlement, and you will be enrolled in the Local Government Pension Scheme (professional services staff) or the Teachers' Pension Scheme (academic staff) from day one of employment. Along with subsidised bus travel, cycle to work and annual savings schemes, our broad range of benefits can be explored on the AUB careers website.
