Lecturer in Performing Arts

City of Westminster College is embarking on an exciting stage of its development. With a thriving student population, a strong and growing business portfolio and a stunning £102m new campus, we are poised to become the first choice College in the capital for students and staff.  Graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted, pursuing a new growth strategy, the College continues on with its quest to make an impact on both the quality of teaching and learning as well as the progression and employment opportunities of our learners.  We invest heavily in the professional development of our staff, and would like to encourage suitably qualified persons to apply for this role.

Performing Arts is a key part of the well-respected Creative Industries department. Our combination of innovation and continuing development means we now need an enthusiastic full time Performing Arts lecturer.  Part time applications are also welcome. 

We’re looking for someone with a relevant degree and industrial experience.  You must have a recognised Level 4 teaching qualification (PGCE/CertEd) or display a willingness to work towards a Diploma Level 5 teaching qualification (supported by CPD) upon being appointed.  The successful candidate will have the proven ability to work within a team environment and experience of organising, managing and delivering learning opportunities in Performing Arts. Skills in singing, drama and musical theatre are especially desirable.

As part of the role you will act as a personal tutor, taking responsibility for course management, tracking grades, employability skills and pastoral support. 

You will also be actively involved in the internal verification process and preparing the department for external verification.

You should also be eager to take a creative lead on a range of subject specific enrichment within the Performing Arts area, providing a range of performance opportunities for students as well as arranging trips and guest lecturers.

We are fully committed to our Performing Arts provision and have dedicated areas including a fully equipped professional Theatre and dance studio.
