Professional Law Teachers (Hourly Paid)

Cardiff Professional Legal Studies (CPLS) is the department within the School of Law and Politics which offers the Graduate Diploma in Law, Solicitors Practice Course and Bar Training Course - postgraduate routes to professional qualification for solicitors and barristers. Cardiff University is the only Russell Group University to offer all of these courses. CPLS also provides nationwide assessment of Duty Solicitors, Police Station Representatives and expert witnesses. Its courses – which are delivered by professionally qualified staff - are well established, highly regarded within the profession and command excellent levels of satisfaction from students.

The School wishes to appoint suitably qualified hourly paid teachers to contribute to the teaching of all of its courses. Our hourly paid tutors work closely with full-time members of staff in the delivery and assessment of our programmes. The ability to teach vocational legal subjects and to deliver legal skills training is essential. These posts are ideally suited to legal practitioners who wish to undertake some teaching alongside their professional legal practice. 

Any queries relating to the post are to be directed to Jetsun Lebasci, Head of Cardiff Professional Legal Studies at lebascij@cardiff.ac.uk

Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds.  We therefore welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We especially welcome and encourage applications from those from under-represented groups within the University workforce, such as those who identify as LGBT +, BAME or those with disabilities. In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.

Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
