Opportunity Oxford Teaching
The Law Faculty is looking to appoint a number of graduate students to assist Andrew Higgins, Access & Outreach Co-ordinator, and Rory Gregson, the Opportunity Oxford Co-Ordinator, to teach the Opportunity Oxford Law Programme from July to September 2021.
Opportunity Oxford is a University Scheme that provides high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds with some additional teaching over the summer holidays with the aim of giving them a "flying start" to their Oxford law degrees in Michaelmas Term. We are looking for graduate students with the ability to teach in one or several of the following areas of law: Roman, Constitutional or Criminal Law. Experience of teaching in these subjects is desirable but not essential.
Duties of appointees will include giving tutorials, holding Q&A sessions with students, marking and giving feedback on online course exercises and on tutorial essays. For graduate students working in Roman Law duties will also extend to organising a moot. The Law Faculty is also exploring the possibility for providing additional online support to other high school students whose studies may have been affected by Covid restrictions. You may be required to provide marking and feedback on online course exercises for this group as well.
The programme comprises a distance learning course, followed by a residential. The distance learning will run from Mon 5th July – Fri 27th August 2021 and students will be required to complete 2 weeks full time work but will have a 6 week period to complete it. The residential will run from 4th – 18th September 2021. The latter will be in person or virtual depending on government and university guidance.
No one will be required to work more than 8 hours a week, and for a maximum of 12 weeks in total.
This will be paid at the standard Grade 6 rate of £15.37 per hour (based on point 1) plus holiday pay of £1.86 per hour worked (= total of £17.23/hour).
Any enquiries about the position can be emailed to Andrew Higgins (Andrew.higgins@law.ox.ac.uk). Please e-mail a short application to recruitment@law.ox.ac.uk setting out the areas of law which you can teach, your relevant experience, and any restrictions on your ability to work during the above period, as well as the names of at least one referee. Please include the reference ‘Opportunity Oxford’ in the subject line of your e-mail.
