The Brilliant Club is an award-winning university access charity. They work closely with PhD and post-doctoral researchers, training them as university access professionals and placing them as tutors in schools. Here they deliver academically rigorous programmes to small groups of high potential pupils from low HE-participation backgrounds. To date, nearly 2000 researchers have worked as PhD tutors.
This year The Brilliant Club are running two programmes: The Scholars Programme and The Brilliant Tutoring Programme. Tutors are paid £500 per placement, plus an additional £100 for designing a new Scholars Programme course, and travel expenses. Read a full job specification here, and apply here.
Successful applicants can select which terms they would like to work, on which programme, and whether they would like to deliver multiple placements.

In addition to earning £500 per placement, successful candidates will gain valuable teaching experience, enhance their knowledge of the UK education system and develop a programme of tutorials drawing on elements of their own research with a chance to disseminate it to a non-expert audience. As well as this, they will also join a cohort of like-minded researchers who are interested in widening access to highly-selective universities. Tutors will be supported by a training programme consisting of two full-day sessions and will accompany their pupils on a university trip.
