An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work within the Transitions Course team and the wider LEAPS team. We give you support to enhance your teaching development in a rewarding role in widening participation to higher education.

The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

If invited for interview you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our right to work webpages .

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.

How to apply:

To apply, please submit a CV and Cover Letter outlining what you would bring to the role. The Cover Letter must also include one paragraph giving an example of how you would support LEAPS students to develop discussion skills in a tutorial setting (in-person and online) to help prepare them for their transition into university.

Note that we expect the CV and statement to be wholly the work of applicants and not prepared using AI tools

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 10th June 2026

Interviews are scheduled to take place on the 9 th and 10 th July 2026.
