Introduction to YSJ university

York St John is an ambitious, modern university at the heart of historic York and there has never been a more exciting time to join us.

As one of the fastest growing universities in the UK over recent years, we have a new strategy for the next decade, emphasising our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to creating a fairer world, and a more prosperous region. We are putting inspirational learning and impactful research at the heart of this strategy, recognising our academic expertise as our greatest asset.

The role

We are seeking an enthusiastic, adaptable and highly motivated individual to join our International Programmes team. We provide support to our international students, regarding their English and academic skills. This is through bespoke courses, tutorials and workshops, as well as face-to-face and online materials. We are a team of five and work closely with stakeholders around the university to help our students. Successful candidates will be able to contribute to developing and delivering teaching materials and assessments, and all other related duties as required to meet the needs of the team. There are also lots of opportunities for professional development and all team members are involved in many projects around the university. 

This role is from early September, for 0.4FTE (14.8 hours per week), Mondays and Tuesdays in person at our beautiful York campus. This is an exciting opportunity to work on growing projects and apply your ideas to helping students here and furthering your own development. This is not simply a teaching role, but an opportunity to learn and become involved in lots of areas around York St John. International Programmes was a PIEoneer Awards finalist for Language Training Provider of the Year a few years ago, due to all the growing projects undertaken and the innovative work we are accomplishing. We also offer HEA (Higher Education Academy) pathways and if you already have fellowship status, you would be encouraged to pursue the next level.

Key requirements 

Candidates should have a DELTA (or equivalent) and experience of teaching EAP (English for Academic Purposes) in Higher Education. We deliver presessional and insessional courses, among others, and candidates need to have experience of this type of material. Knowledge of assessments such as IELTS is also key. If you have experience of teaching international students at a high level, we would very much like to hear from you. We are a member institution of BALEAP and deliver the very highest quality teaching and support to our international students, to help them reach their goals at York St John and in their future career.
