The register will be available until 31 December 2030

Rate of Pay: Grade 6 – £32.46 per hour

Location: All duties will be delivered remotely; therefore, there is no requirement to attend the University campus, however,  the duties of this role must be performed from within the UK. 

Job Purpose:

The tutor will support the Quality Management module within the online MSc Biomedical Science programme. As this programme is delivered entirely online, tutors are expected to be flexible to work the hours to meet the needs of the programmes and the learners.

All tutoring will be conducted through the University’s virtual learning environment and associated online tools. The role of an online tutor is to supplement and support the Programme Director and Module Coordinator. This involves contributing to curriculum delivery in a relevant specialist field and comprises tutoring, online assessment, marking, providing feedback and moderation, and may also include supervising student projects.

Online tutors will be offered a full induction as part of their first contract and performance will be collaboratively reviewed, as part of the University’s commitment to continuous improvement and supportive development.

Initially, successful applicants will be added to the University’s register of online tutors.  Appointment to the register does not guarantee the offer of work, and online tutors are not considered part of the University’s core workforce. Contracts will be issued on an hourly-paid basis, depending on demand.

Closing Date: 20th August 2026 at 23:30
