Senior Lecturer and Year Leader in Technical Arts for Theatre and Screen

The opportunity

Are you a skilled maker, sculptor or prosthetics artist ready to inspire the next generation of creatives in theatre and screen arts?

Camberwell, Chelsea & Wimbledon Colleges of Arts (CCW), part of University of the Arts London (UAL), are looking for a Senior Lecturer and Year Leader to join the BA Technical Arts for Theatre and Screen course.

In this role, you’ll lead a year group of students, providing academic and practical teaching, and play a key part in shaping the curriculum. You’ll help students develop confidence and creativity in everything from life casting and prosthetics to metalwork, wax and 3D technologies – building skills they will take into theatre, film, TV, and beyond.

Your profile

You’ll have solid experience in mould-making, prosthetics, life casting and fabrication, and will be confident supporting students in applying these skills in creative ways.

Metal and wax working knowledge is also important, along with familiarity with digital techniques like 3D scanning and printing.

Whether you have taught in higher education or worked in industry, what matters most is your ability to guide and support students through their learning journey. You’ll be an effective communicator, a team player, and someone who enjoys working closely with learners from a wide range of backgrounds.

If you're excited about helping students grow as creative thinkers and makers, we’d love to hear from you.
