We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Strength and Conditioning Lecturer to join the Dance Science & Health Team at Trinity Laban. The post holder will deliver Strength & Conditioning for Dancers within the MSc/MFA Dance Science programme, contributing to the Applications in Dance Science module.

The post holder may also supervise postgraduate research projects in strength and conditioning or applied performance science, supporting students through proposal development, Ethics Applications, and ongoing formative feedback. The role requires a collaborative, research-informed, and student-centred approach, contributing to the wider Dance Science & Health Team.

The post holder may also deliver Strength & Conditioning sessions and 1-to-1 coaching in the Conditioning Studio, supporting students across Dance, Music, and Musical Theatre. As part of the Dance Science & Health Team, the post holder may further contribute to the delivery of our in-house Fitness Screening and Health Tracking Programme.
