Job description:

Working Pattern: Full Time (35 hours per week)

Teaching is generally scheduled between 09:00 and 16:00; Monday-Friday

It is anticipated that interviewing will commence from the closing date and will continue until all posts are filled. Early application is encouraged as the advert will close once sufficient applications have been received.

Would you like to join one of the best run pre-sessional English programmes in the UK? We encourage tutors to join us this summer teaching mainly pre-master’s students, in a range of disciplines, while they prepare academic English language and literacy skills needed for study at the University. Our programmes include a week long paid induction which will prepare you to deliver our EAP courses. All our Pre-sessional programmes are accredited by BALEAP and the British Council.

We are planning to offer on campus (OC) and online (OL) programmes. The campus posts are based in Sheffield. We are looking for various lengths of contracts depending on student numbers, and we expect that to be confirmed later at either the interview or offer stage.

Please indicate your availability, and preference for on campus or online posts, in your application statement.

• On-campus 6-week (including induction week): Monday 14th July - Friday 29th August (7 weeks)

You will join a supportive team focussed on preparing students for their university studies. The programme is designed to give students practice in the activities they will undertake at university and they are assessed on their performance on the programme. We employ innovative technological approaches to support learning and teaching. To access lessons & course content for any blended and online provision of the pre-sessional courses you will need:

• a modern laptop or desktop computer in very good working order
• a headset (strongly recommended) or headphones and a microphone
• a webcam at least 1280 x 720 resolution (strongly recommended)
• fast internet connection (30 Mbps minimum); wired internet connection (strongly recommended)
• smartphone running either Android 11.0 or iOS 15.0 and greater (for security - MFA - multi factor authentication)

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
