Temporary Graduate Teaching Assistant - Physics

We are seeking to appoint a Graduate Teaching Assistant to deliver subject area tuition in Physics to accelerate students’ educational development and academic skills. This support could be alongside teaching staff in the classroom, in small groups or on a one-to-one basis or alternatively via the Learning Support Department. 

These roles are paid on Points 6 to 7 of the Support Staff Salary Spine, currently £23,162 - £23,585 FTE (pro-rata based on hours worked) per annum, on a term-time only basis.

It is preferable that applicants are graduates, who have a real passion for their subject, a good level of academic knowledge, and an understanding of how their own specialism relates to other disciplines. They must also have clear and concise communication skills. However, if you are not a graduate but have a passion for your subject and achieved strong A Level results, please contact us to discuss other possibilities.

The role would particularly suit those considering a career in education, either teaching or supporting learning, and will provide some relevant, paid experience.
