Organic Synthesis - August 2026 (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.Key Responsibilities
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 Live 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
