Specialist Study Skills Tutors

The University of Chichester is looking to recruit new Specialist Study Skills Tutors to support students with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs) at the University.

You will provide non-subject specific, specialist study skills support to students, assisting them to develop appropriate skills and strategies that will enable them to become independent learners.

The Specialist Study Skills Tutors will work with students to create an Independent Learning Plan and will have regular one-to-one meetings, preparing individualised resources in advance and documenting progress. You will work closely with other members of the team, referring students to appropriate areas of the Disability and Dyslexia Services team or wider Students, Support and Information Services team in accordance with internal referral guidance/protocol.

This post requires candidates to meet the Department for Education (DfE) mandatory criteria for Specialist Study Skills and Strategy Support – SpLDs support for Disabled Student Allowance (DSA)-funded Non-Medical Helper roles.

In addition to your salary we offer a competitive reward package with a range of staff benefits and discounts which include:

• Defined Benefit pension schemes via our providers the Local Government Pension or Teachers’ Pension Schemes. Your own monthly contributions are enhanced with employer contributions and a substantial automatic lump sum life cover scheme enhancement.
• A paid closure period over the Christmas break is in addition to our generous holiday allowance with bank holidays too and an occupational sickness scheme.
• There’s also an on-site gym; a cycle purchase salary sacrifice scheme; subsidised bus travel between our Bognor and Chichester campuses and Chichester town centre; 24/7 Employee Assistance programme to support our staff and extensive personal / professional training opportunities throughout the year. 

Enquiries are welcomed by Clare Marczak, Student Wellbeing and Disability and Dyslexia Services Manager via email at C.Marczak@chi.ac.uk
