The role of a Tutor is to ensure the success of our students by providing an environment that engages, respects and nurtures them, to set them up for future success and pathway to higher level education or industry employment.
Our Campuses are an energetic environment where value is placed on delivering outcomes rather than micro-managing work and tasks. You will be given autonomy to work in a way that gets the best results and will be expected to take responsibility and make things happen.
In your role, you will be supported by Learning & Development Leads, Learner Success Leaders, Faculty Academic Leads and of course your Campus Manager
Some of your key responsibilities as a tutor are:
- Deliver our course in a way that brings our curriculum alive for the student in a fun, interactive and practical delivery method
- Mentor students and track our student success through effective programme leadership
- Stay abreast of latest industry trends and make recommendations to programme design and assessment and curriculum development.
- Support with industry stakeholder engagement and nurturing relationships with existing partners for student placements, internships and other learning opportunities.
- Support our students gaining successful entry into higher level education or industry relevant careers
- Ensure students are on track to achieve their qualification, and keeping up to date with all assessments
