City St George’s, University of London, is a global institution committed to academic excellence with a focus on the professions and business.  The City Law School has the largest single cohort for Bar training delivering the very highest quality legal education to over 400 students each year from the UK and around the world.  We are based in Clerkenwell in a modern, architect-designed building with access to cutting edge technology and facilities. 

The City Law School is seeking to appoint two permanent Lecturer/Senior Lecturers to join our exceptional team on the Bar Vocational Studies course.  We are looking for qualified barristers or solicitors with first-hand experience of professional practice in England and Wales.  Previous experience of teaching is desirable but not essential as training will be provided to the successful candidate.  The role attracts a competitive salary together with benefits which include a sector-leading pension and opportunities for promotion and personal development.

We require individuals who can deliver knowledge and skills, including advocacy, on the Civil and/or Criminal parts of the course.  Applications are welcome from all areas of practice.

Teaching on the BVS mostly takes place between September and March and marking between February and September.  The City Law School encourages and supports BVS tutors to maintain active links with the Professions subject to teaching commitments.  There is a significant number of individuals in the team who enjoy the benefits of a stimulating and rewarding career at City alongside maintaining a practice or a part-time judicial appointment.
