You would also need to liaise closely with the Academic Managers for English in the UK and a team of dedicated administrators.

It is important to meet deadlines within demanding timescales, ensuring that the courses are delivered in line with University regulations and UKVI requirements. Sound experience of delivering pre-sessional English courses is required and you would need to be TEFLQ.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, flexible and hardworking individual with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. The role requires a positively minded team worker who can cope well under pressure.
