Appointments
Where possible residential school appointments are made for two consecutive weeks to give the schools continuity and help minimise travel costs.

We will let you know as soon as we can whether you have been appointed and for which school and dates.
If you want to ask about the progress of your application please Contact us. You may be consulted by University staff about intended appointments, but the University enters into no commitment until you have received an appointment offer for signature and have signed and returned it to the residential schools team.
If you need to make any changes to your application please Contact us.
Please give your staff reference number, if you have one, in all correspondence.
back to topReserve appointments
For most modules we contract reserve tutors who may be called on to teach at any host institution where the school is being presented. The most likely time for call-up is shortly before or even after the scheduled start of the school. It is therefore important to understand that if you agree to be a reserve tutor you must be prepared and available to teach at any of the places where your school is running, and on any of the dates specified in your offer of appointment.
A retainer rate will be paid to reserve tutors. Those reserves who are called to teach will also be paid at the appropriate rate for tutorial staff. The retainer will be withheld if the University does not receive a reply, or receives an unfavourable reply, to any request to teach at the school specified in the offer of appointment. It will also withhold payment if you do not return your signed contract and do not get called upon to teach.
Please show on your application form whether or not you are willing to be considered for appointment as a reserve tutor.
