Business and Management Tutor

Job overview and purpose

The University of Bradford International College (UBIC) is a partnership between the University of Bradford and Oxford International Education Group. We welcomed our first cohort of students in 2021 and have over 400 students enrolled on courses this academic year (2022-23). This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing college and a chance to help shape the project as we continue our expansion over the next 12 months.

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Business and Management tutor to join our teaching team on a 12-month fixed-term basis. Your role will be to teach and assess the academic performance of international students to ensure they are prepared for and progress on to their chosen undergraduate or postgraduate courses at the University of Bradford. You will support the students both inside and outside the classroom using a range of effective teaching materials, techniques and resources. Taught modules include Introduction to Business and Management, Management in Context and Global Issues and Responsible Management.

Based at the heart of University of Bradford’s campus, UBIC offers a wide range of courses to international students, all of which, upon successful completion, allow progression to degree programmes at the University. We have a very diverse community of students from different countries and cultural backgrounds, and we are committed to providing them all with a high-quality learning experience and positive outcomes. Achieving this goal requires the commitment, dedication and collaboration of every member of staff.

If you feel you can demonstrate the dedication, skills and passion required for this role, we look forward to receiving your application. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a short pre-interview task. Candidates may be contacted before the official closing date and interviews may also be held earlier than stated.
