The Role:
At TLG, we’ve had huge uptake in student numbers coupled with our new partnership with Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) and this demand has led us to opening new campuses in Birmingham and Nottingham, in addition to our two campuses in London. As such, we’re looking for an Academic Mentor in Business Management to guide and coach our Business Management students on a wide range of academic and pastoral topics.
Academic mentoring sessions can act as a space for dialogic education, where academics and students can discuss students’ studies and their progression. The role also involves being an initial contact, listening and empathising, then referring the student to the correct support service. Our students come from diverse educational backgrounds, and academic mentoring gives them a chance to discuss their experiences with academics to help them succeed at TLG. The mentoring relationship eases students into the academic community and its expectations while offering them a space to pose questions or seek advice. By being an initial contact, students have someone they know in a mentorship role to raise questions and concerns. This can only happen if the relationship and trust are developed through sustained contact and conversation.
All students will have a mentor to advise on matters, and therefore, expertise in Business Management is essential, particularly in fields such as accountancy, finance, and economics. We are open to different working patterns, including permanent full-time and part-time opportunities to suit individual needs.
Please note, this role will involve working over the weekend.
Role Requirements:
* A subject specialism in Business Management (accountancy / finance / marketing / economics, etc.)
* Experience in academic and administrative management is essential.
* A degree or higher in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
* Strong organization and time management skills.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
* Cooperative and collaborative.
