Job description

British Sign Language Teachers (Temporary Assignment)

Due to increasing demand, we are looking to recruit a number of British Sign Language (BSL) teachers for extra-curricular language courses commencing from January 2025 to supplement our existing teaching team.

Successful applicants will be teaching groups of adults (members of the public, students and staff) in the Evening Language Programme as follows:

Term 2 from w/c 13th Jan - w/c 17th March 2025 Term 3 from w/c 28th April - w/c 30th June 2025

Teachers will be engaged on a temporary basis under the University's terms and conditions for engaging temporary workers (details available on our website). The rate of pay is calculated according to published hourly rates, and is inclusive of holiday pay. Courses may be delivered in the evening or during the day, on campus or online, subject to the course type.

We would also be pleased to hear from BSL teachers with availability from other parts of the UK who may be interested in teaching on-line.

The University of Exeter offers BSL courses as follows:

Levels of study

British Sign Language (BSL) is available at four levels (introductory/ BSL Level I/ BSL Level II, BSL Level III) as well as specific “BSL in the Workplace” courses.
