Job Description:

When you work for the University of Lancashire, you’ll be part of a thriving community of talent that’s united in a common commitment to transform lives. We do this by delivering an outstanding educational experience and creating prosperity and opportunity in the communities we serve. Whatever your role, you’ll be playing a vital part in helping us achieve our vision.

About the role:

The School of Veterinary Medicine is seeking an experienced Educational Technologist to join our Digital Education Team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in shaping how technology supports teaching, learning and assessment across one of the UK’s newest and most innovative veterinary schools.

Our School of Veterinary Medicine is the first of its kind in Lancashire and one of only two in the North of England. As such, this is a unique opportunity to work in state-of-the-art facilities, including an immersive suite, consulting rooms, clinical skills and anatomy suites, in a purpose-built school that opened in 2025.

We are delivering a modern, innovative veterinary programme, focused on producing clinically competent, compassionate, and pragmatic graduates. This role will involve working in and around clinical and teaching environments, so you will need to be comfortable around animals and have a genuine interest in veterinary medicine and animal health.

You will serve as the School’s specialist lead for PebblePad, driving the development and implementation of our e-portfolio and clinical skills log, supporting students, academic staff and clinical tutors across a range of workplace-based assessment including DOPS, Mini-CEX, EPAs and CBDs. Alongside this, you will provide expert guidance on a broader range of educational technologies, advocating innovative and evidence-informed approaches to teaching and learning including team-based learning, portfolio and programmatic assessment.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a range of projects and initiatives, supporting colleagues, and helping to develop the digital education provision of a growing and ambitious school.

About you:

You are an experienced learning technology professional with an undergraduate degree or equivalent experiential learning, thorough knowledge of PebblePad and a genuine passion for using technology to enhance the student experience.

You will be confident providing expert advice and hands-on support to a wide range of stakeholders, from academic and clinical staff to students on placement, and will bring the interpersonal skills and adaptability needed to thrive in a busy, collaborative environment.

Informal enquiries are welcomed — please contact Colette Fuller, Digital Education Manager, School of Veterinary Medicine via email in the first instance.

Use of AI in applications:We want to understand your genuine interest in the role and artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application. However, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience and the written elements of your application should accurately reflect your own communication style. Applications that rely too heavily on AI tools can appear generic and lack the detail we need to assess your skills and experience.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

What we can offer you:

We have a fantastic package of rewards and lifestyle benefits – from an attractive annual leave entitlement to access to a comprehensive employee benefits platform which includes a 24/7 online GP.

Our people are our most important asset. We’ll encourage you to make the most of your talents and continually develop your skills and knowledge. As well as realising your career ambitions, you’ll be making a positive difference to other people’s lives.

We are proud to be a diverse, multicultural university. We are committed to building a truly inclusive culture where diversity is championed. Applications are particularly welcomed from individuals who will support the diversification within the University and support its development of a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all.
