Tutors, Markers and Assessors (multiple roles)

Background:

The PGA are proud to run a world leading education programme in partnership with the University of Birmingham and the University of the Highlands and Islands.

As part of our Foundation Degree (FdSc) and Diploma in Higher Education (DipHE), we deliver numerous face to face sessions to over 900 students. These sessions are designed by our module leaders and then delivered by external lecturers.

Each year, students submit in excess of 15,000 assessments (assignments and exams) which are first marked by our external markers and then internally moderated by our module leaders.

Tutor, Marker and Assessor recruitment:

The PGA are actively seeking individuals to work across multiple roles:

• Tutoring - the delivery of subject specific lectures at the PGA
• Marking - marking written coursework and exams
• Assessing - assessing students in practical formal assessments

Individuals should be able to demonstrate a good level of expertise in the area they are applying to work in, including a proven record of personal and professional development in this area.

Prior experience in higher or further education would be beneficial, but is not essential.

• Golf Coaching are looking for individuals who have a strong interest in all areas of golf coaching, not just golf swing technique.
