Detail information about job EAP Centre Manager (Based in China). Terms and conditions vacancy

Job Purpose

Salary Grade 8 - £41,709 - £46,924 per annum pro rata. An accommodation allowance will be provided. Two return flights per year from the UK to China, travel insurance, visa fees and related costs.

Fixed term secondment from 31st January 2018 until 31st May 2019 with possibility for renewal. Duration of stay in China may vary dependent on visa restrictions.

The University is embarking on an exciting series of programme initiatives with a range of College of Science and Engineering (CSE) Bachelor degree programmes in China (PRC).

The partnership between the University of Leicester and Dalian University of Technology (DUT) gained formal PRC Ministry of Education approval in March 2017 to establish the Leicester International Institute, Dalian University of Technology.

This Collaborative Education Institute, abbreviated name: the Dalian Leicester Institute (DLI), recruited its first cohort of students in September 2017 to two 4+0 degree programmes: BSc Chemistry with 80 students and BEng (Mechanical) with 100 students. BSc Mathematics will be introduced in 2018. All first year students at the Institute will be receiving English language training from the DLI English Language Centre with a maximum class room size of 16. The total steady-state student population of the DLI will be approaching 1200.

The courses are taught in English by academic staff from the UK and PRC, integrating an intensive English Language course within the first year of each four-year degree for DLI enrolled students. The Students will graduate with two degrees: one each from the University of Leicester and Dalian University of Technology. Typically, the University of Leicester is responsible for providing all lecture and course material for the core curriculum, the English language modules and teaching 50% of the modules for each programme.

As Centre Manager you will be responsible for providing the academic leadership, strategic development and delivery of the English Language Teaching Unit’s (ELTU) operation at DLI in Panjin, China. You will have a significant input into a wide variety of tasks including staff recruitment, curriculum design, student engagement and experience and the development of resources. You will report directly to the Director of the ELTU in Leicester and work closely with the DLI directorate from the College of Science and Engineering at the University and the corresponding DUT leaders. Whilst predominantly based in China, there will also be a requirement to spend up to two periods of 2 weeks in Leicester.

This is a highly important collaboration for the University of Leicester and we’re committed to the programme’s success. The length of stay in China may vary dependant on individual visa restrictions but full support will be provided to successful applicants including help with accommodation costs, taxation status, travel and orientation upon arrival.

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to James Lambert on [email protected] or 0116 229 7853.

The closing date for this post is midnight on 18th September 2017.
