Responsibilities

I design and plan a continuing professional development (CPD) programme on an annual basis of approximately 140 events. This programme is a combination of sessions in relation to the skills and knowledge of teaching and learning, leadership, human resource, equality, disability and generic bespoke events.

I co-designed, co-coordinate and run sessions on an Effective Leadership module for early career professional, the module looks at the models of leadership styles, team building, reflection and mentoring. 

I co-designed and run sessions on Train the Trainer programme which incorporates group work, learning environment, role play, and various presentation skills.  The main session that I have most interest in is the learning styles on how people learn differently and the practical implementation of these skills in designing learning/training sessions. 

I undertake peer observation of teaching of those teaching through the medium of English and Welsh for those on the PGCTHE scheme. 

I am very interested in mentoring and coaching and am involved in mentoring on the Supporting Students module, Welsh Learners and have taken the lead in setting up a peer coaching scheme in the University this is at a very early stage but I hope to develop this scheme over the following academic year.

I recently completed the Effective Leadership module, I am a Fellow of SEDA (Staff and Education Development Association) and as an associated member of CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).
