HEFCE is seeking approximately 100 high calibre individuals to work as panellists and assessors for the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). These roles will form the TEF Subject Pilot panels and supplement the TEF Year Three panel. This is an opportunity to get involved in delivering a high-profile and ground-breaking exercise in the higher education sector. All appointments are initially for one year and may be extended for a further year.
About the TEF
The TEF was introduced by the Department for Education in England in 2016, and is delivered by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Higher education providers across the UK participating in TEF Year Two received a gold, silver, bronze or provisional award reflecting the excellence of their teaching, learning environment and student outcomes.
The TEF Year Three process begins in Autumn 2017. At the same time HEFCE is running a subject-level pilot of the Teaching Excellence Framework, to inform future development of the framework.
The opportunities
The roles available are for subject panel chairs, subject panel deputy chairs, panel members and assessors. Applications are sought from academics, students, employer representatives, professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRB) representatives, widening participation experts and employment experts.
For the TEF Subject Pilot roles, we welcome candidates from all types of HE provider. A small number of TEF Year Three roles are available for applicants with experience of HE in further education colleges or alternative providers.
Meetings and events will be held in locations across the UK. Panellists and assessors receive a flat fee which depends on their role type, ranging from £4,000 to £8,000.
We welcome applications from all sections of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people and people from a black or minority ethnic background.
