This post will be based at the University of Lincoln’s Maritime Studies Centre at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, Devon.

The University of Lincoln is the Higher Education partner in the Team Fisher consortium which is tasked with delivering and modernising Royal Navy training and education through ‘Project Selborne’. A key part of the University’s role is to deliver education in core academic disciplines, both arts and sciences, to Royal Navy officers undergoing training at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC). These subjects are delivered within the professional pathway for Royal Navy officers and, in many cases, lead to the award of Level 5 and Level 6 degree qualifications.

As a Lecturer in Seapower, you will be based at BRNC Dartmouth as part of the Maritime Studies Centre staff in a teaching, scholarly and professional practice (TSPP) position. Your role will be to undertake lecturing in subjects relating to maritime strategy, naval history, contemporary security and international affairs, as well as making relevant connections across all taught disciplines. The role will include a number of key enabling aspects including Personal Tutoring, academic outreach activities, marking and assessment, and Continuous Professional Development including research outputs and pedagogical innovation. For Lecturer candidates, scholarly practice and associated research will be a priority. For Senior Lecturer candidates, there will be a requirement for academic leadership and management including Programme and Module leadership, development and modernisation.

We are looking for a motivated, innovative, and collaborative expert in maritime and naval affairs who is able to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team and who is committed to the delivery and modernisation of Royal Navy Officer education. While this is not a formal research post, the Maritime Studies Centre places a high value on published work and the role will allow time for producing research which supports the goals of the Centre.

You will have a relevant honours degree, a Masters Degree or equivalent and / or, ideally, a PhD in a related discipline.  A Post-graduate qualification or equivalent in Higher Education or Teaching and Learning is desirable and if not possessed you will be supported in achieving Higher Education Association (HEA) status.  

Full details of the role can be viewed on the job description and person specification.  For an informal discussion, please contact Dr Louis Halewood at LHalewood@lincoln.ac.uk  

Please note that this post requires a Security Clearance.  Applicants must have at least five years continuous residency in the UK in order to apply for the required Security Clearance.  

Interviews for this post will be Tuesday 22 September 2026 (Teams only) and if a second round is required, in person at BRNC on Wednesday 30 September 2026.

Salary: £38,784 per annum
Please note, this post is permanent and full-time at 1FTE.

At the University of Lincoln, we're looking for an ambitious, organised and people-focused Talent Development Coordinator to lead the delivery of one of the region's most exciting creative workforce programmes.

About the role

Routes In – Greater Lincolnshire Place Partnership is a major three-year programme funded by Arts Council England. Working with local authorities, employers, schools, colleges, universities and cultural organisations, we're creating clearer, fairer and more accessible routes into creative careers.

You'll be helping to build the creative workforce of the future.

From coordinating apprenticeships and mentoring programmes to bringing employers together through a county-wide Creative Careers Network, you'll play a central role in creating opportunities for people across Greater Lincolnshire.

No two days will be the same. One day you might be supporting an emerging creative starting their first apprenticeship, the next bringing together arts organisations and industry leaders to shape regional skills priorities, or delivering a county-wide careers event that inspires the next generation.

If you enjoy bringing people together, making things happen and seeing the impact of your work in people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.

About Routes In

Routes In – Greater Lincolnshire Place Partnership is funded by Arts Council England and delivered by the University of Lincoln in partnership with local authorities, education providers, employers and cultural organisations across Greater Lincolnshire.

Together we're creating apprenticeships, mentoring, careers support, leadership development, employer networks and sector-wide collaboration to ensure creative careers are visible, accessible and achievable for everyone.

This is an opportunity to help build something that will have a lasting impact on the county's creative future.

What you'll be doing

You'll coordinate the delivery of the Routes In programme across Greater Lincolnshire, working with colleagues across the University and a wide range of external partners.

Your work will include:

• Coordinating five creative apprenticeships and supporting both apprentices and placement hosts
• Developing mentoring, employability and leadership programmes
• Organising careers events, networking opportunities, conferences, workshops and creative careers surgeries
• Building and coordinating the Greater Lincolnshire Creative Careers Network
• Supporting the Greater Lincolnshire Culture Alliance and its partnership activity
• Managing programme plans, reporting, evaluation, governance and Arts Council England requirements
• Developing resources that help people understand creative career pathways
• Working with our marketing team to promote opportunities and celebrate impact
• Building strong relationships with employers, educators, local authorities and cultural organisations
• Championing inclusive practice and ensuring opportunities reach communities currently underrepresented within the creative industries.

Who we're looking for

We're less interested in someone who's done this exact job before. We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and passionate about helping people succeed.

You'll probably have experience coordinating projects, building partnerships or delivering programmes, and you'll enjoy working with a wide range of people.

You'll thrive if you:

• Love organising complex projects and keeping multiple strands moving
• Build positive relationships with ease
• Are motivated by creating opportunities for others
• Have excellent communication and organisational skills
• Can confidently manage competing priorities
• Enjoy working collaboratively across organisations and sectors
• Care deeply about widening access, inclusion and social mobility
• Believe creativity can change lives and strengthen communities.

Why join us?

You'll become part of Lincoln Arts Centre and Barbican Creative Hub, two of the University's flagship cultural organisations.

Together we're creating new ways for culture, education and creativity to transform lives, strengthen communities and drive economic growth.

You'll work alongside artists, educators, employers, researchers and community partners, helping shape a creative ecosystem that supports people at every stage of their journey.

Most importantly, you'll see the direct impact of your work through the careers, confidence and opportunities you help create.

If you're excited by developing people, building partnerships and making a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Please ensure you submit your CV when completing your application.
