Section 5: Employment and Placement Details
Are you eligible to work in the UK?
Please select...
Yes
No
You must be able to prove your eligibility to work in the UK in order for us to process your application to work as a Brilliant Club tutor. The following groups will typically be eligible: UK citizens, EU nationals and international students residing with a Tier IV visa. If you do not fit into one of these groups then please check your eligibility before proceeding.
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal
offence?
Please select...
Yes
No
The Brilliant Club provides enhanced disclosure DBS checks for all its PhD tutors. These show all unspent convictions. A conviction does not necessarily mean we will not be able to place you in a school, however an unspent conviction can make it more challenging to place a PhD tutor in a school. We approach these on a case-by-case basis in discussion with the PhD tutor and potential placement schools. If you have any questions on this, please contact
tutorhr@thebrilliantclub.org
, and the team will be happy to set up a phone call to discuss this further.
Which of the following placements would you be interested in?
Autumn 2017
Spring 2018
Summer 2018
If your application is successful then The Brilliant Club will endeavour to place you in a geographically-suitable school at a time that fits with your availability. We will provide a more comprehensive availability form at the end of the application process outlining the key dates for each term.
Section 6: Assessment Questions
Q1) Why do you want you work with high performing pupils in low participation schools?
Q2) What do you hope to get out of the role on a personal and professional level?
Q3) What in your view constitutes excellent teaching? How would you plan to deliver excellent tutorials as a Brilliant Club tutor?
Q4) What in your view are the most significant barriers to high performing pupils from low participation schools securing places at highly selective universities? How would you plan to help your pupils overcome these barriers as a Brilliant Club tutor?
Q5) Please outline any relevant teaching experience that you have.
Q6) Please outline any relevant experience of working with young people that you have in a non-education context.
