The successful applicant will plan and deliver material covering the academic and production aspects of both courses, including textual analysis, industry and audience contexts and issues around working in the creative sector. The successful candidate will also be practiced in supporting students as they experiment with their own creative skills and explore their own professional practice. The development and delivery of course material and assessment of student work are an intrinsic part of the post.

You would be joining a well-established teaching team and teaching on courses with successful track records. The courses are well-resourced and equipped, with technical support available for staff and students.
