The Centre provides innovative summer pre-sessional courses focused on self-directed and problem-based learning. We are offering suitably qualified and experienced EAP practitioners the opportunity to teach on these pre-sessional courses. All our teachers will receive a competitive salary, including accrued annual leave, and the option of city-centre accommodation if required. They will be working as part of a dynamic and experienced team of teachers at one of the country’s top Universities.
There are both online and on-campus options for our 6-week pre-sessional courses, which both include a blend of asynchronous and synchronous sessions. All teachers must be based in the UK for the duration of both online and on-campus options*. These courses run for the following dates, including 6 weeks of regular teaching plus a one week induction, during which you will work with both colleagues and students.
7-weeks (PS6 online) including student and tutor induction: Monday 24th June – Friday 9th August 2024.
7-weeks (PS6 on-campus) including student and tutor induction: Monday 8th July – Friday 23rd August 2024.
This is a full time 35hr working week position. Duties include:
Engagement in a one-week tutor induction
17.5hrs contact teaching per week divided between two groups of students (mostly PG)
Delivery of in-house material
Preparation and provision of regular feedback to students
Conducting 1-1 or small group student tutorials
Engagement in training and teaching group meetings
Engagement in CPD development events
Candidates for these posts are required to have a minimum of a first degree and a DELTA (or equivalent), and a Masters in a relevant subject, as well as previous experience of teaching on pre-sessional courses. In return for your effort and commitment on what is a very intensive course, we hope to provide a supportive and collaborative environment in which you will continue to develop as an EAP practitioner.
The Centre is run on the principles of collaboration, development, transparency, transferability, autonomy and reflexivity at all levels within our community. For those who are interested in the BALEAP fellowship scheme, we have TEAP assessors in-house to carry out observations for your TEAP portfolio.

There will be a pre-interview task. This is a rolling advertisement and interviews will be conducted at the earliest convenient date.
We will take into account your preferences for online and on-campus options, although this cannot be guaranteed as it is dependent on student numbers. For online delivery, all tutors will be loaned a University of Bristol laptop and expected to have:
a reliable highspeed internet connection
and the ability to conduct online classes with students, including online Break Out Rooms.
We also recommend that teachers have access to a headset with a microphone for use during online teaching sessions.

Accommodation: We can offer a limited amount of accommodation for teachers not living locally. This will be within walking distance of the campus.
The cost will be met by the Centre except for the sum of £35 per week including VAT to cover utilities and cleaning, which is payable online. You will be sent relevant details once accommodation is confirmed and lets will be agreed with the accommodation office on a first-come-first-served basis. Priority for accommodation will be given to on-campus teachers not living locally. We regret we cannot accommodate families in these facilities; all accommodation is single occupancy.
