Note-takers (manual and electronic)

Salary: Grade 4(£22,681 - £25,138 p.a. pro rata depending on experience)

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Would you like to support the academic progress of students with barriers to learning? Do you have graduate or equivalent level knowledge in one or more subject area? Are you able to listen, comprehend, process and précis information, and write legibly at speed, working at the level of undergraduate and postgraduate in both lectures and seminars? Do you have regular availability (eg at least a half day per week) during the main University teaching hours?

The University of Leeds is one of the top 135 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

As a note-taker you will be responsible for providing handwritten or typed notes to disabled students. This might include working in unfamiliar subjects, and having to make sense of unfamiliar vocabulary and subject matter.

With a commitment to providing support to disabled students, you will bring strong organisational skills along with the ability to communicate complex and specialist information clearly and in an appropriate format for both UG and PG students.
