Why work for ULaw?
We are seeking to recruit an ambitious individual who want to forge or continue a meaningful career in teaching and course design in Higher and Professional Legal Education. You may or may not have previous experience of teaching and course design, but what is important to us is that you have the drive and enthusiasm to learn.
Teaching in Higher Education can be challenging but rewarding and we are looking to recruit a highly motivated individual who is ready to make a positive contribution. You will be keen to share your expertise and to become involved in all aspects of enhancing the student experience at our Bloomsbury campus, including teaching primarily on the existing BPTC (Bar Professional Training Course) and our new BPC (Bar Practice Course), although you will be capable of teaching on our other courses too, including LLB, GDL, LPC and LLM. In return, we will guarantee you a supportive and friendly environment where considerable opportunities for learning and career development exist for the right people.
The reason for our recruitment is an existing and anticipated expansion in student numbers on postgraduate and undergraduate law programmes in particular.
Are you ready to join our dynamic team and help contribute to our success?
Who are we?
The University of Law (ULaw) is one of the world's largest law schools. With an impressive history going back to 1876, we employ c750 staff and have over 9000 students studying on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. ULaw has an outstanding reputation as a full service legal and educational training specialist, operating from thirteen campuses throughout the UK, as well as in Hong Kong and Berlin, with additional global reach through online and face to face provision. We have recently been ranked number one for undergraduate law degree acceptances by UCAS.
Building on unprecedented growth and success across our courses, we continue to have exciting and ambitious plans for expansion and diversification.
We select our BPTC/BPC students by way of interview and advocacy test. We have enviable pupillage success rates. 58% of our full-time UK/EEA BPTC students graduating in 2018 secured a pupillage within one year of successfully completing their course.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking to recruit a law tutor - qualified barrister (or solicitor with significant advocacy experience) who can demonstrate successful legal practice experience. You may or may not have previous teaching experience - the important point is that you have an aptitude to teach.
We are looking for an individual who can teach both knowledge (civil or criminal litigation and evidence) and skills (advocacy, conference, drafting, opinion writing and negotiation). The role will also include personal tutoring, marking, designing assessments, admissions, extra-curricular activities and marketing.
As part of the tutor development programme, we will also support you to study for a recognised teaching qualification within your first 18 months of employment.
If you would like to arrange an informal discussion prior to application, please contact Sarah Corbett - phone 01483 216535 or email [email protected]
Some posts within the University are subject to a DBS check - you will be notified of this during the application process.
As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals are currently under-represented within the University - which does not reflect our diverse student body - we would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates. All appointments will be made on merit.
