Lecturer in Set Design (2065)

We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently – because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.

So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

This exciting role is to teach on our BA (Hons) Set Design for Stage and Screen programme. You will also be expected to lead this programme.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every criterion. We are particularly looking for talented individuals with experience of:

Designing sets for both live performance and film production
Scale model-making skills
CAD modelling skills
Technical Drawing skills
A good knowledge of CAD technical drawing (preferably Vectorworks, Sketchup, Autocad or Rhino)
A good knowledge of set building construction and prop making techniques.
A good knowledge of safe working practices and Risk Assessment processes.
A good knowledge of specialist materials and suppliers.
Knowledge of industry professional bodies and organisations.

What we offer:

a generous holiday entitlement (35 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
training & development support opportunities
contributory pension scheme
free gym membership for our on-site gym
a range of staff discounts with major retailers.
