One week left to apply: academic tutors needed for Manchester Access Programme
29 Jan 2024
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to our social responsibility goals and develop your one-to-one tutoring
The Manchester Access Programme (MAP) is now recruiting new academic tutors for 2024. If you are an academic member of staff or a PhD student and want to support the progression of talented local young people to university, we want to hear from you!
What is MAP?
MAP is our University’s flagship widening participation scheme, supporting the progression of local sixth form (Year 12) students from underrepresented backgrounds into The University of Manchester or another research intensive university.
MAP Academic Tutors
Being a MAP Academic Tutor involves supporting 1- 7 MAP students during their time on the scheme, and overseeing their completion of the academic assignment; a 1,500 word essay on a topic of their choice. The tutoring process includes two hour-long one-to-one meetings with each student via Zoom and the marking of their draft and final assignment. Most of the tutor role can be done remotely, however you will need to travel on to campus to conduct a Right to Work and DBS check as part of our People and OD set-up process.
Payment has increased from last year, fixed at £76 per student you tutor. These are paid in two £38 instalments.
Availability
You will need to be available through to October 2024, with a current staff contract or ongoing study at The University of Manchester.
