[What the role is]
• We're looking for professionals who can help students communicate effectively in workplaces where AI handles the drafting, but humans still need to do the thinking.
• You'll work with pre-employment students and adult learners who need to understand when a polished AI-generated email misses the mark entirely, when to rewrite a 'perfect' report because it doesn't match their actual reasoning, and how to use AI tools without outsourcing their judgment. This isn't about teaching presentation templates or email formats—it's about developing adaptive communication capability that transfers across contexts and technologies.
• If you've recently navigated explaining complex ideas to non-experts, coached colleagues through difficult stakeholder conversations, or found yourself fixing AI-generated communications that were technically correct but strategically wrong, you already have the foundation we're building on.
[What you will be working on]
- Teaching Business Communication across written, oral, and visual formats. Your focus is helping learners develop transferable communication patterns rather than memorising templates. Students learn to recognise when different approaches work, not just what those approaches look like.
- You'll teach during office hours (pre-employment students) or evenings (adult learners), adapting your approach for different experience levels—from school leavers building foundational skills to career-switchers with 10+ years in other fields who need to translate their expertise into new contexts.
- Assessing Real Understanding by evaluating how learners analyse communication situations, justify their strategic choices, and recognise when AI-generated content needs human revision. We care more about their thinking process than their final documents.
- Drawing on Recent Experience to contextualise concepts. When explaining persuasive writing, you'll reference actual stakeholder scenarios. When discussing presentation design, you'll share why certain approaches succeed or fail with real audiences. When exploring AI-human collaboration, you'll discuss situations where you've seen this partnership work well—or break down.
- Collaborating with Module / Unit Teams to maintain pedagogical consistency while bringing your unique professional perspective. You'll receive curriculum materials, lesson plans, and assessment templates, but we value your professional judgment in adapting delivery.
[What we are looking for]
- Professional Background: Minimum 3 years in roles where communication quality had real consequences—client-facing positions, stakeholder management, change communication, technical writing, or similar contexts. Alternatively, substantial corporate training or adult education experience with communication-focused content.
- Communication Expertise: You should have a track record of getting complex messages across to diverse audiences. You've written proposals that won business, presented to sceptical stakeholders, or navigated politically sensitive communications. You understand that clarity isn't simplification - it's strategic thinking made visible.
- Teaching Capability: Experience explaining communication principles to others. This might be formal training, mentoring junior colleagues, coaching teams through difficult conversations, or running workshops. You instinctively help people see why something works, not just what to do.
- AI Awareness: You're curious about generative AI's role in communication without being either dismissive or uncritical. You've experimented with AI writing tools. You've discovered where they excel and where they fall short. You have opinions about when AI assistance helps and when it hinders—and you're still learning.
- Adaptive Thinking: You can teach transferable patterns, not just formats. When you explain how to structure a difficult email, you focus on the underlying strategic thinking rather than sentence templates. Students leave understanding principles they can apply to situations that were never discussed.
