Undergraduate tutor vacancies at Edinburgh Law School
Edinburgh Law School is currently recruiting new tutors to teach in person on its undergraduate programmes. This year, additional support is being provided to anyone who self-identifies as coming from an under-represented group. We would particularly welcome applications from members of SEMLA.
To support delivery of the Undergraduate LLB degree in years one and two (Ordinary), Edinburgh Law School regularly enlists the support of Ordinary Course Tutors. Tutors are recruited from a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds and if you would like to be considered as a possible new tutor in 2022-23 please can we ask you to download and complete the Tutor Application form on our website and submit this along with an up to date CV to Law.HR@ed.ac.uk no later than 5.00pm on 13th June.
Extended induction and support for under-represented groups.
Edinburgh Law School is proud to have staff, students and visitors from a wide variety of backgrounds, and we strive to ensure we meet the needs of our community. This academic year, Edinburgh Law School will be introducing additional support for successful applicants from under-represented groups. This includes anyone who self-identifies as coming from an under-represented group under any of the Equality Act 2010 protected characteristics; but particularly, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion and belief and sexual orientation.
This additional support will include paid shadowing opportunities, as well as being assigned an experienced tutor as a mentor, who will meet with you to discuss approaches to tutoring. They will sit in on one of your classes later in the semester and give you some feedback. You and your mentor would be paid for this time to help ensure your smooth induction into tutoring in the Law School. If you would be interested in this additional support, please tick the box on your application form.
If you have any questions on what it is like to be a tutor or any aspect of the role, then please email Andrew Farrer at a.farrer@ed.ac.uk before the deadline. Alternatively, please reach out to SEMLA for support and assistance.
