The School of Art and Design is looking for an enthusiastic and flexible Lecturer to join our contemporary, forward thinking, and high achieving team on a part time basis.

Working closely with our students, stakeholders and employers, you will strive for continuous improvement and higher standards for the benefit of the whole community. We aim to do the ordinary things extraordinarily well.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a broad range of skills to predominantly teach on our UAL Level 3 Product Design and Craft course, including assuming course leadership responsibilities. You will be delivering both industry skills and knowledge to our eager students so experience in Product Design is essential for this role.

Candidates should demonstrate competence in various creative and technical processes such as but not limited to:

• Design software proficiency
• Rendering and visualisation
• Sustainable design practices
• Communication and presentation skills
• Technical Drawing

Knowledge and experience of digital (CNC, 3D printing, laser cutting) and craft practices for materials and manufacturing processes is desirable. These skills will not only enhance our learner's academic journey but also prepare them for a successful career in product design and craft.

The successful candidate will be positive, enthusiastic, resilient and have an eagerness to seek out development opportunities for our courses. You will also be able to demonstrate an adaptive and flexible teaching style to support and stretch a diverse range of students.

Teaching experience and relevant qualifications are desirable although we are keen to hear from anyone with the right skills within Product Design and Craft and who are willing to engage in self-development.

It is essential that our courses reflect industry practices, and you will be key in driving course development to ensure it remains relevant and meets contemporary industry needs. You should also expect to provide prompt, accurate and detailed assessment of student work at key stages during the academic year.

The closing date for applications is Sunday 7 th July 2024. The successful candidate will join our team from August 2024 at 22 hours per week.

You'll have the full support of a dynamic team and opportunities to bring your ideas to the role. Training and development are at the heart of everything we do so you'll be encouraged to upskill.

We have a free on-site gym and you can access a wide range of discounts and benefits including a cycle to work scheme, free on-site parking, pension, generous holiday scheme, time off at Christmas and early finishes on a Friday.
