Central’s mission is to inspire, educate and train the change-makers of tomorrow to shape our artistic and social world. We provide world-leading and transformative education that positively impacts society and culture and produces exceptional research and scholarly outputs.

We seek colleagues with experience of teaching and learning in Higher Education, that are committed to excellence in student experience and success. You will be able to draw upon a depth of subject knowledge and professional practice to oversee a curriculum that fosters equity and inclusion, is at the cutting edge of musical theatre and acting practises, and is grounded by the skills training necessary for the industry.

You will be joining Central at a time of strategic change and will contribute to that change within these courses and across the School as a whole.
