Are you in a teaching-focused role? Do you have a non-traditional background having moved into Higher Education (HE) from industry or professional practice? Does the idea of not ‘fitting in’ resonate with you? In this chapter we explore how teaching-focused roles are often in a minority in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), leaving colleagues in these roles feeling misunderstood and/or underrepresented. However, these roles can and do bring a richness to HE and can support the revitalisation of institutions and the sector. This chapter presents key considerations which we propose are necessary for supporting these colleagues to flourish.
