Biology Teacher (fixed-term/part-time)

We require a qualified, enthusiastic and experienced teacher of Biology to join our teaching team on the International Foundation Year. Lessons are delivered from our Manchester Centre, and the capacity to offer both online and face-to-face teaching is essential.

We are looking to appoint a teacher on a fixed-term contract, which will run from 5th September 2022 to 31st August 2023. This vacancy will be for part time work, ideally 18.75 hours p/week although other hours can be discussed during the process.

The successful applicant will have the ability to teach students from a variety of countries and cultural backgrounds, and with different language levels.  This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher looking to teach in international education.

• To teach Biology following the Northern Consortium (NCUK) syllabus.
• To follow the scheme of work and adapt it to the teaching circumstances and teaching platform as necessary. 
• To make purposeful and appropriate lesson plans that provide for effective teaching strategies and meet the individual needs of students, including adapting materials for blended and flipped learning for online students.
• To prepare, select and use teaching-learning materials for international students (including the use of electronic textbooks, in-house materials and self-created materials). All materials will be provided electronically.
• To attend regular staff and student representative meetings.
• To mark both formative and summative coursework to agreed deadlines, liaising with the Examinations Board as necessary and keeping reliable records of scores achieved.

• To maintain accurate records of student attendance and academic progress, and to produce periodic reports at the request of the Programme Manager.
• To develop reasonable rules of classroom behaviour and ensure they are consistently applied, including appropriate management of online classrooms.
• To liaise with the Programme Managers in communications with the Examinations Board as necessary throughout the academic year, marking examinations scripts, preparing results sheets and attending Board Meetings at the end of the academic cycle.
• To provide academic support for international students as appropriate through consultations and tutorials (e.g. advice on language learning, study skills and academic expectations for University study, and where to seek additional academic support and information).
• To carry out administrative and record-keeping tasks associated with teaching and assessment (e.g. student progress reports, test invigilation, mark sheets, attendance and activity records, tutorial logs, advising logs, and UCAS references).
• To participate in the social programme where this is an integral part of the teaching programme (e.g. accompanying trips and attending events).
