As a Creative Workshops Tutor, you will be required to act as a UCA Champion, showcasing the University as the most creative university in the UK. You will have the confidence to demonstrate your passion for creative arts and UCA, through delivering, supporting and representing UCA appropriately.

This role is the perfect opportunity for creative practitioners looking to develop their teaching and outreach experience. We are aiming to recruit tutors from a range of subject areas to mirror the UCA course portfolio.

Tutors will be allocated to a primary UCA campus but will be required to deliver activity both on and off campus.

Please state your preferred primary UCA campus on your application form - Farnham/Epsom/Canterbury/Rochester.

UCA’s Creative Workshops Tutors work on an ad-hoc and casual basis. This means that you will work on a flexible, "as required" basis in order to be able to fit around other commitments or employment. There is no obligation on the part of the University to provide ‘guaranteed’ work nor for you to accept work offered. Full details on the process of job allocations will be provided to successful applicants.
