Tutor Pathway

tutors-packStep 1

Complete an Expression of Interest form (this can be done online or via post).

A tutor pack will be sent out and a member of the team will be in contact with you to

discuss the role in more detail, including:

  • why you would like to volunteer with the college
  • your course ideas
  • your relevant experience
  • the tutor job role

Step 2

If you are not employed by Oxford Health you will need to provide references and complete DBS checks.

Step 3

Attend Mandatory Training

Train the Trainers course and Introduction to the Recovery College are mandatory for all of our tutors.

Step 4

Start developing a course through the co-production process

Step 5

Facilitate a Course

Step 6

Evaluate the Course

Step 7

Supervision

Step 8

Attend Additional Training

We also recommend our tutors attend additional training at some point – depending on experience and as part of your own professional development.

All students will have an Individual Learning Plan outlining their goals as well as a code of conduct and charter that they sign at enrolment. Some students may have a recovery college safety plan which may include early warning signs and a contingency plan and this will be shared with tutors co-facilitating that course.
