The Opportunity:
The Institute of Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences is seeking to build a pool of Associate Tutors to support the delivery of the Undergraduate programme – specifically placement supervision for Physical Education MA students. Details of the programme can be found here https://study.ed.ac.uk/programmes/undergraduate/352-physical-education.
Often, placement supervising Associate Tutors work from home – but there is a dedicated space in St Leonards Land that they can utilise. There is an expectation that the successful applicants will be open to travelling to partner local authorities to supervise placements. Training and support will be provided by the core teaching team.
This is an exciting opportunity for you to join a dynamic Institute where teaching is supported by high quality specialist teaching spaces, indoor and outdoor facilities for a wide range of field sports, and swimming and athletics.
