Bristol, United Kingdom Kaplan International Full time

**Academic Leader**

**£39,500 per annum + benefits**

**Are you a passionate teaching professional with the skills to lead a team to deliver an exceptional academic experience for each and every student?**

At UWE Bristol International College we’re looking to appoint an Academic Leader who will use their knowledge of teaching and learning to ensure that our academic programme enables students to perform to the absolute best of their ability.

**Located in a peaceful campus setting, **UWE Bristol’s International College is a place where we work together to achieve high levels of student success and staff satisfaction in a friendly, informal atmosphere. Our priority is ensuring students feel supported in every way. Whether it’s a listening ear when they’re feeling homesick or practical advice on how to make the best use of their time whilst they are here, our door is always open.

The College Part of Kaplan International Pathways, University of the West of England Bristol’s International College (UWEBIC) operates in partnership with the UWE Bristol to provide a pathway for international students to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the University.

**Our approach to teaching**:
At the heart of our educational approach is a belief in supporting students to become independent, motivated learners who will thrive in higher education. To do this, we recognise the need to provide a flexible, responsive experience which meets needs of learners who differ in background, requirements and pace.

Our classrooms are active learning spaces and lessons are primarily student-centred. By introducing students to material before class, we use classroom time for discussion, real-world problem solving and project work, with a strong emphasis on group work and pair work. Technology is embedded into our approach - both physically within each classroom as well as within each curriculum area - from use of engaging multimedia study materials to convey concepts through to online testing in class which allows us assess students’ understanding in ‘real time’. Providing an individualised, differentiated learning experience is also a key strand in our approach. Students are involved in shaping their programme so that they specialise in their area of interest according to their strengths and intended progression route and get the chance to undertake projects personalised to their interest and path.

For many - tutors and students alike - this is a very different model for learning but one which results in highly engaged students who take responsibility for their academic success.

Our students learn in a wide variety of ways, enabling them to develop the behaviours and skills needed for university in the UK. As students move through their programme, teachers will be directing, guiding and supporting them in different ways at different times. The focus will be for students to participate in:

- a range of learning activities including: active learning, workshops, laboratory sessions, online support through the VLE, project-focussed and other Applied Learning tasks as well as more traditional lectures and seminars
- assessment to receive feedback on their work so they may improve, and to arrive at their summative marks. Some assessment will be digital, some non-digital; projects, group and individual assignments will all feature.
- activities with Learning Advisors, including reviewing progress, ensuring VLE engagement and being taking up support/intervention/stretching activities so they can achieve their potential. Students may also be signposted to other non-academic support as needed.
- work to support the development of their e-Portfolio

**Your role**

As Academic Leader, you will be responsible for:

- the student academic experience is of a consistently high standard, is flexible, responsive and meets the needs of all students within an area of the College
- academic standards, including teaching, learning support and assessments within an area of the College
- ensuring student feedback is collected effectively and used to enhance the student experience within an area of the College
- effective selection, management, and continual development of a high-performing teaching team to ensure high-quality learning within an area of the College
- the use of learning and teaching resources that support the successful achievement of students within an area of the College
- effective measurement of the student learning experience so that all student reach their potential within an area of the College
- managing a team
- innovation and development of learning and teaching within an area of the College
- Working with both internal and external stakeholders including the relevant university partner/s, regulatory bodies and other Kaplan Pathways teams

**About you**:
You will enjoy working with international students, be student focussed, be open to change and development, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and be
