Auckland City, New Zealand University of Auckland Full time

**Company Description** Waipapa Taumata Rau** **| The University of Auckland**

The University of Auckland is New Zealand’s leading University. With over 6000 academic and professional staff supporting over 46,000 students, we are one of NZ’s largest employers. We have eight academic faculties and 11 service divisions creating a diverse, dynamic and complex organisational culture that demands excellence.
**Job Description** Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity**

The DELNA Language Advisers have a key role in the DELNA process. They provide feedback on students’ language skills, particularly writing, guide students to appropriate language enrichment options and advise on courses or programmes students should take up. Two advisers share the duties of the position.

Beyond the immediate demands of advising students and maintaining the records of students seen and advice given, the DELNA Language Advisers work closely with the raters of the DELNA writing tasks. The guidance and feedback provided at DELNA are largely based on students’ writing assessment. DELNA writing raters are trained by the Advisers, who must fully understand the rating of the DELNA tasks.

At DELNA, there is an ongoing need to develop new forms of the assessment tasks to keep the assessment up-to-date and to protect the security of the materials. All members of the DELNA Team are involved in the development of new tasks and, during the year, the Advisers work together to develop vocabulary and timed reading tasks for the DELNA Screening and writing tasks for the Diagnosis.

The DELNA team is also involved in research projects. Those can be related to the ongoing validity of the assessment programme, or involve collaborations with other teams within and out of the University. The advisers are expected to take part in relevant projects as needed.

This is a part-time, 22.5 hours per week, on a 12-month contract. The salary range for this role is $80,900 - $99,900 per annum depending on experience and qualifications.

**He kōrero mōu | About you**

The Advisers need to display very good communication and networking skills. Within the University, this includes dealing with student needs; liaison with staff teaching English credit courses or language tutorials across the University; close cooperation with the other members of the DELNA Team; and promoting the merits of DELNA at every opportunity.

The position requires someone with a postgraduate qualification in English or Language Teaching, and an ESOL qualification. In-depth knowledge of academic writing and language enrichment is essential. Professional experience in language teaching at secondary or post-secondary level is also vital. Knowledge of language assessment is also desirable.

Please refer to the Position Description document for more information.
