The Organisation

BUIC has been operating since 2016 and is looking to recruit a tutor as part of the expansion of the EAP modules.

The Opportunity

Bangor University International College is recruiting for an EAP Tutor. Tutors deliver lessons that prepare students fully for their participation in their university programme.

Main responsibilities:

• Promote team spirit at all levels and ensure full communication with team;
• Assist with other duties as directed by line manager;
• Act as a positive ambassador for Oxford International;
• Adhere to both the Bangor University and BUIC codes of conduct for staff;
• Engage in continual professional development and keep up to date with the latest developments in the field; and
