To support our international groups, we are also interested to hear from qualified and experienced tutors of English as a Foreign Language.

About the Role

Short course tutors use their industry experience to help learners navigate specialist creative and digital subjects, providing them with opportunities to maximise their professional or academic development.

With an awareness of resources and events in the East Midlands, you will manage and deliver your short course and make a positive impact on the careers of your attendees.

You will be able to build rapport with learners through an enthusiastic and confident approach to delivery.

The courses are fee paying, so a focus on the customer experience and value for money is paramount.

You'll receive a management fee for preparing and delivering your short course. This will be discussed and negotiated with the Short Course Manager.

Our ambition is to be a widely acknowledged force for good in economic, social and cultural development. We offer a vibrant learning atmosphere that encourages creativity and experimentation in our short course attendees, whether they be professionals enhancing their CV or beginners taking their first steps.
