Job Advert

Teaching Associate

Cardiff University School of Social Sciences (School of Social and Spatial Sciences from 1 August 2026) is seeking to recruit 2 Teaching Associate's to support our Undergraduate students in their learning. The main duty is to undertake seminars, tutorials and group work and to mark and give feedback on students’ work. You may also be required to supervise student projects and carry out teaching-related administrative duties. Training and career development opportunities are provided. Teaching contributions are within an agreed programme of content overseen by module leaders.

The contract is equivalent to approx. 0.33 of a full-time post (11.5 hours), available from 14 September 2026 and fixed term until 31st August 2027. The time commitment for the role will vary over the year, and the postholder would expect to work more intensively during teaching and assessment periods. You would therefore need to commit to being available during University Semester time (teaching takes place mid-September to mid-June) and to undertake marking during assessment periods in December, January, and May.

Salary: £33,951 - £36,636 per annum, pro rata for part time hours (Grade 5), with annual increments up to final salary at top of grade). New appointments are usually made at the starting point of the salary scale.

Responsible to Professor Rob Evans, SOCSI Deputy Head of School

From the 1st August 2026 the School of Social Sciences and the School of Geography and Planning will come together to create the new School of Social and Spatial Sciences, building on and strengthening existing interdisciplinary research and education.

Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave, pro rata for part time workers (including bank holidays) blended working (meaning you will be able to work from home for some of your time), a cycle to work scheme and other travel initiatives, annual increments up the pay scale, and more. It is an exciting and vibrant place to work, with many different challenges and is a proud Living Wage supporter.

As the biggest university in Wales – and a major employer, with more than 7,000 staff – we are an ambitious and innovative university located in a beautiful and thriving capital city. We can offer you the chance to work in a vibrant organisation, with great benefits and opportunities for progression.

Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds. We therefore welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We especially welcome and encourage applications from those under-represented groups within the University workforce, such as those who identify as LGBT+, Ethnic Minority or those with disabilities. In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.

Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
