The Role

Opportunity to join our bank of External Mentors and Link Tutors.

Casual worker contract - work will be offered according to availability, location and requirements of the university

Rate of pay is based on a fee per placement (travel expenses are paid)

York St John is an ambitious, modern university at the heart of historic York and there has never been a more exciting time to join us.

Significant investment in our campus and facilities, the development of forward-thinking new partnerships and an enhanced range of contemporary courses have helped make us one of the fastest growing Universities in the U.K. over recent years.

Now we are building on that achievement, with a new Strategy for the next decade, emphasising our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to creating a fairer world, and a more prosperous region.

We are putting inspirational learning and impactful research at the heart of this strategy, recognising our academic expertise as our greatest asset and investing in enabling this expertise to thrive.

As a Stonewall Global Diversity Champion and holder of the Social Enterprise Gold Mark for Responsible Business Practice, our strength lies in the supportive, inclusive network that exists within our teams: renowned for our friendly, progressive environment, we will nurture your potential so that you can accomplish your ambitions.

The School of Education are recruiting for highly skilled, dedicated and experienced individuals with recent experience of teaching in primary schools. Successful applicants will join our bank of staff who will fulfill the role of either Link Tutor or Mentor for placements across our Primary Initial Teacher Education programmes. Link Tutors will link with our partnership schools to provide support to mentors and student teachers across their placement and play a key role in quality assurance of the experience. Mentors will work specifically to support student teachers to develop their teaching practice and induct the student teacher to understand their role and responsibilities as a teacher. Both roles will require successful candidates to attend training provided by the University and regular attendance at meetings to keep up to date on processes and procedures.

Further details regarding the roles can be found in the attached External Mentor and Link Tutor handbooks.

Appointments will be subject to a satisfactory DBS check.

We welcome all applicants and particularly people from minority ethnic backgrounds as they are underrepresented within the university. 

Please note that CVs are not accepted in place of the application form.
