The post holder will be required to have a range of abilities within Media and Esports including community and social management, content creation, and broadcasting. We are looking for somebody who has a strong media base e.g. knowledge of the adobe suite and content creation in the Esports community. You will also act as a personal tutor and study programme owner, providing pastoral and academic support to our students.

You will work collaboratively with our existing team of talented and passionate teachers to ensure we plan and deliver purposeful practical and theory lessons. Our students are eager to learn, and we want to appoint someone who can provide them with a high level of knowledge and skills, that they can utilise in their careers or progression to university.

You will be responsible for providing expectational mentoring and pastoral support to our students throughout the duration of their course. You will have the ability to plan and deliver high quality and engaging lessons to a diverse group of learners and to carry out initial and on-going assessments to ensure the students are on track with their learning goals and achieving excellent results.
In addition, you will need to have a flexible approach, coupled with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills. You will demonstrate the ability to engage and develop students and role model the attributes that we develop within our learners.

You’ll have:

• Have a Level 3 qualification in an appropriate subject, or relative alternative qualification, or experience is essential.

• Possess an open mindset and attitude towards technology and virtual learning tools.
• Have the ability to expose students to a wide range of skills within Esports.
