Job Description

Photography Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the North East

Are you a photography professional looking to pass your creative and technical expertise on to the next generation?

About the Role

An education provider is looking to appoint a Photography Lecturer to deliver high-quality teaching across its photography programmes, with a start date of September 2026.

You'll plan and deliver engaging sessions covering both the creative and technical sides of photography, assess learner progress and support students to build a portfolio and the skills they need to progress into further study or employment.

If you're new to teaching, that's not a barrier. Industry professionals are supported to work towards a recognised teaching qualification while they work.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging lessons across a range of photography programmes.
  • Teaching both studio and technical skills, alongside the theory that underpins them.
  • Assessing learner progress and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Maintaining accurate records of attendance, achievement and learner outcomes.
  • Contributing to curriculum development and quality improvement.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A qualification in photography or a related creative subject
  • Industry or professional experience in photography
  • Strong technical knowledge of photographic practice and equipment
  • Enthusiasm for supporting and motivating learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Experience of teaching or assessing in a further education or post-16 setting

If you're ready to inspire the next generation of photographers, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Support to work towards recognised teaching qualification
