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.

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