Grade 6
Appointments to Grade 6 on the LTS track are very often to GTA positions, typically part-time positions with limited duties relating to learning and teaching. There are, however, some instances where this is not the case, and a member of staff may have a full-time or part-time role that is closer to a lectureship in terms of the range of duties undertaken. Staff on Grade 6 appointments will have a job description that sets out those responsibilities within the context of their Unit (Subject / School).
There are no Grade 6 promotion criteria on the HR web pages because roles at this grade are much more varied than roles on a Grade 7 lecturer position and because it is unlikely that there would be someone on an LTS track who would be on a Grade 5 appointment and looking to progress to Grade 6. For staff who are on Grade 6 LTS and looking to be promoted to grade 7 LTS, the consideration is not what duties are undertaken at Grade 6, but rather, whether an applicant can demonstrate that they meet the criteria for Grade 7. The promotions criteria are simply that, criteria for promotion, not role descriptors.
TNE Partner Institutions
It is recognised that the specific obligations of colleagues on the LTS track working within one of our TNE partnerships may differ to an extent from those in the UK. Equally, the differing organisational structures will mean terminology (e.g. School/Subject) do not translate directly. The promotions panel will adopt the standard criteria but will make an adjustment in recognition of those differing employment expectations and structures as guided by the relevant College Deans and supporting statements in the applications. Importantly in this respect, the requirement to complete the APP on this track offers candidates the opportunity to explain their effectiveness in teaching and supporting learning in context, and in evidencing their impact on student attainment for the panel to interpret those achievements appropriately within the organisational setting.
