Job Description

The University of Virginia (UVA) is a highly competitive Division I program committed to the academic and athletic experience of student-athletes. The Department of Athletics is seeking to fill the position of Learning Specialist to support student-athletes through the support of the Cavalier Academic Support Team (CAST), direct service to a caseload of students, and development of student support programming.

The Learning Services team is tasked with implementing quality tutoring and academic mentoring support services for all of UVA’s student-athletes. These services are highly individualized and responsive to student needs. Learning Specialists work directly with a small caseload of at-risk student-athletes to enhance academic strategy development and support student success.

Learning Specialists support the overall CAST through various administrative functions such as training and quality control for our academic mentoring and tutoring programs. Learning Specialists demonstrate expertise in evidence-based learning and study strategies and their application to diverse learner profiles. In collaboration with the Learning Services staff and Academic Coordinators, they provide comprehensive academic support and encourage the growth of students as learners by teaching skills to effectively engage with academic material and resources at the University. Their work is mainly independent, with some oversight and with a strong emphasis on communication, attention to detail, integrity, and collaboration.
