Performing Arts Lecturer - Variable Hours

Do you have a passion for the performing arts and the power they hold to enhance wellbeing? Are you experienced in leading vocal groups, ensembles, and performances? We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Lecturer in Performing Art to lead our new Community Performing Arts for Wellbeing Course.

This exciting role involves delivering inspiring and engaging sessions designed to promote mental and emotional wellbeing through the performing arts. Using your expertise, you'll create a safe and enjoyable environment where participants can explore vocal expression, ensemble performance, and the therapeutic benefits of music and drama.

This is a flexible, variable-hours position, ideal for a performing arts practitioner who wants to make a meaningful impact on their community.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver interactive, creative sessions focused on vocal and ensemble work.
• Foster a positive and inclusive learning environment for diverse groups of participants.
• Support participants' confidence and wellbeing through performance-based activities.
• Share your expertise in singing and performing to inspire and motivate learners.
• Provide constructive feedback and encouragement to help individuals achieve personal growth.

We're looking for someone with:

• Experience leading vocal groups and ensembles (e.g., choirs, community groups, theatre troupes).
• A strong background in singing and performing, with a love for sharing these skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to connect with participants.
• A commitment to fostering creativity, confidence, and wellbeing through the arts.
• While a teaching qualification is not required, experience facilitating workshops or group activities is highly desirable.

What you can expect from us - We care about your wellbeing so have a number of activities all year that provide support. However, time off is also important. We have a generous holiday scheme, the usual Bank Holidays, an additional 5 days at Christmas and 2 'ME' days (where you can have a day off work and do whatever makes you happy) as well as an additional day on campus spent on wellbeing.

We have a range of benefits available to all staff including paid time off for emergencies (designed to support carers) and all our policies are enhanced further than statutory requirements. The College also contributes to your pension at a minimum of 22.9% (we contribute more for people in the Local Government Pension Scheme).
