About This Role
Cardiff Sixth Form College invites applications for the post of UCAS Tutor (Online Summer Course). The UCAS Programme is a key part of the College’s university application support offering. The UCAS Programme Tutor’s role is to deliver exceptional support to students on all aspects of the UK university application process.
This opportunity comes at the most exciting period in the history of the college as we look to relocate to brand new, purpose-built premises in Cardiff Bay from September 2026. Cardiff Sixth Form College has led the UK independent school league tables for A Level results for over a decade and has big plans for the future. We seek a creative and dynamic practitioner, keen to contribute to a high-performing and dedicated team.
Our vision is to be recognised as the best academic school in the world. All of our teachers play a key role in fulfilling that vision by contributing to a culture of high achievement, intellectual rigour and exceptional teaching and learning. We seek to appoint professionals who are passionate about education and keen to engage and challenge highly academic students.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to work with an exceptional team to teach and inspire some of the brightest young people in the country.
Applications are welcome from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences. We celebrate our diversity and welcome interest from individuals with protected characteristics.
UCAS Support Programme takes place from Friday, 14 August - Friday 21 August 2026.
Gaining access to leading UK universities has never been more competitive and our UCAS Programme optimises students’ chances of success at the most selective universities. Through one-to-one and small group sessions with expert tutors, students are supported in all aspects of the university admissions process, including the personal statement and interview. This bespoke guidance ensures that students produce the best quality application possible.
The 2026 UCAS Support Programme will be held virtually through Google Meet, or equivalent. All sessions will be held in BST (typically between 8:00-17:00), though many of our students will be overseas so a degree of flexibility may be required
