Description

Tiro is a leading training provider for science and technology apprenticeships. We've been helping hungry apprentices to join ambitious businesses since 2005. At Tiro, we really believe that great apprenticeships help everyone. Because there are remarkable apprentices out there just waiting to be found, and fantastic employment opportunities waiting to be filled. But our work will never be just about getting bums on seats and pocketing our commission. In our own small way, we're helping to change the world - finding people that are working on COVID vaccines, finding new ways for technology to help humanity and helping to tackle the big issues of the day, like climate change. We're proud to be playing our part in making that happen, and we're looking for more like-minded people to join team Tiro.

The Contract

Overview

You'll plan, design, develop and deliver content, live online lessons and assessments for learners on Tiro's Applied Chemical Sciences modules:

• Inorganic Chemistry - January 2025 (10 weeks)
• Physical and Inorganic Spectroscopy - April 2025 (10 weeks)
• Organic Chemical Characterisation - October 2025 (10 weeks)

Delivering phenomenal learning experiences

You'll deliver a variety of specialist modules/content/materials/assessments that are learner-centric, stretching and delivered in live and asynchronous sessions via digital platforms, embedding your subject specialist knowledge to develop highly competent Scientists and Technologists.

You'll inspire and engage learners so attendance to sessions is something to look forward to.

You'll provide rich feedback on assessments, always making things relevant to the workplace context and experiences that champion and grow your learners' determination to succeed - so learners know where they are and how to realise their ambitions.

Ensure learners progress through their programme

You'll anticipate, spot and address issues/challenges to nip them in the bud to keep learners progressing with their learning. Being proactive and pacey, you'll tenaciously drive the progress of your learners, keeping them on track to complete their learning within agreed timelines.

As you deliver a module of learning within your subject specialism, your colleagues will be coaching and supporting learners to transfer that learning back into the workplace. As such you'll be an exceptional communicator - providing up to date reports, updating systems, and attending meetings to ensure key stakeholders can support and feedback to learners.

Core Deliverables:

Module Delivery Plan - Design robust module delivery plans, designed in accordance with approved module narratives. Ensure module delivery plans are clear and instructive.

Content Creation - Design and develop subject-specific content for Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and Live Lesson Delivery that meet the learning objectives for the module.

Module Meetings - Attend module meetings, cross-module meetings and assessment boards throughout the module to discuss issues of concern and disseminate items of good practice.

Live Lesson Delivery - Deliver ten (2 hour) Weekly Live Online Lessons per module which stimulate curiosity and enthusiasm, creating an inclusive and friendly environment.

Assessment Marking - Ensure module assessments are marked and returned to learners in accordance with Tiro's Assessment Policy and Tiro's Moderation Process. Turn around assignments within a week.

Learner Feedback - Ensure high quality, appropriate and timely feedback to learners on their assessments and questions.

About you

We're looking for someone who's an industry pro in Chemistry - has done the job and got the t-shirt - with a degree qualification or higher in the field of Chemistry.

You'll love using your expertise to deliver training to develop and impart knowledge to others, with maximum learning transfer back into the workplace.

Your speciality... turning complex chemistry information into 'lightbulb' moments. You'll thrive on engaging and inspiring people with your ability to communicate and relate to others.

You'll be a catalyst for growth by not shying away from sharing feedback and addressing challenges.

As a self-starter, you'll be trusted to work autonomously to deliver on your agreed schedule of work.

You'll love to follow a process and utilise our systems to ensure you're operating in-line with Tiro's policies and procedures so every learner has the same exceptional experience.

With super awesome organisation and prioritisation skills you'll keep to deadlines for delivering assessment marking and feedback to your learners who'll be eagerly awaiting their results. You'll be suitable to work with children and vulnerable adults.

We respect, value and listen to everyone as an individual. Safeguarding checks will be undertaken as part of your application for this role and if you're successful, you'll be required to complete a Disclosure Form from the Disclosure and Barring Service ("DBS") for the position.
