Our Business School is recognised for the quality of the educational provision we offer, the employability of our graduates and the international reputation and partnerships we have. Currently, we have an opportunity for a Guaranteed Hours University Tutor to join us and support the Human Resource Management subject group with teaching requirements for a period of 3 months (1st June to 11th September).

The Role: As a University Tutor, you will have the opportunity to join the team at our Business School and take responsibility for delivering teaching and student-centred learning, underpinned by academic scholarship and professional practice within your assigned areas of responsibility.

These will include contributions to our postgraduate modules including our MSc International Business Management, MSc Business Management and MSc in International Human Resource Management.

As a multidisciplinary school with an excellent record in applied research and teaching, we will support you to go beyond traditional boundaries, working with others internally, across the wider university, and externally to foster an inter-professional, collaborative approach to educational delivery from the outset. Further to this, you will find yourself making a profound and positive impact on the experience of our students as you use your initiative, creativity and judgement in applying appropriate approaches to teaching and learning support and scholarly activities.

What we will need from you: Teaching will take place face-to-face on campus, so we will need you to be available to attend in person for weekly classes. We will look for demonstrable evidence of teaching expertise in an appropriate discipline and we would be keen to receive applications from candidates that complement or enhance the expertise of our team. You will also need:

• A Masters degree in a relevant discipline
