As our client prepares for their Summer 2025 Program, we are supporting with the recruitment of Summer Course Teachers, for a variety of subjects, to be taught in Cambridge (face-to-face and online). As a Summer Course Teacher, you will help design, prepare, coordinate and deliver an academic subject course. In collaboration with the senior leadership team, Summer Course Teachers are encouraged to participate actively in designing their subject-classes and you will be given the freedom to introduce your own interests and expertise — ensuring that teachers and students have the best experience possible. Support will be given by the Senior Leadership Team throughout the term of your agreement.
In order to teach on the summer courses, our client usually requires a minimum academic level of PhD and/or a formal teaching qualification in your chosen subject. However, they will also accept applications from motivated candidates who can show evidence of prior teaching experience.
