Sessional Lecturer : Musical Theatre Performance

About Morley College London

Established in 1889, and with our roots stretching back even further, Morley College London is one of the country's oldest and largest specialist providers of adult education. We provide long-term, sustainable and affordable programmes of lifelong learning across three centres – North Kensington, Chelsea and Waterloo – including 16-19 provision at North Kensington and Chelsea.

As one of only nine Specialist Designated Institutions (SDIs) in the UK, we serve more than 17,000 students through a coherent, student-centred course offer, underpinned by our mission to empower individuals and strengthen communities through education in Arts, Culture and Applied Sciences. Whether studying for personal development and well-being, to gain essential skills (English, Maths, IT), to access higher education, or for career development or change, our vision is for ambitions to be inspired and achieved through learning.

Following Morley College’s merger with Kensington and Chelsea College in February 2020, the College is reshaping its curriculum and professional service teams to facilitate an ambitious plan for development and growth. As the UK looks to a post-COVID recovery, Morley College London is more determined than ever before to support Londoners to learn, and so we’re looking for applications from talented individuals with energy and enthusiasm.

Morley College London aims to have a workforce that is as reflective of the diverse population that it serves. The College particularly encourages applications from ethnic minorities and disabled people who are currently under-represented within the College at this level.

About the role

Morley College, a distinguished institution in adult education with a rich legacy in vocal instruction, is in search of an enthusiastic and seasoned tutor to lead the ‘Musical Theatre Performance’ course alongside dance and acting tutor Timothy Taylor (Programme Manager for Dance at Morley College) from January 2023. 

 We are looking for a professional singer with a background and specialism in the genre of Musical Theatre and excellent piano skills, who can teach the vocal elements of the course while accompanying students on the piano. The successful candidate should bring experience as music tutor in the adult education sector, along with the ability to motivate and engage learners of diverse backgrounds and skill levels.  

 The course is taught on Mondays 6.30-9:00 pm at Morley College Waterloo during term-time (10-12 weeks per term). 

 In addition, there may also be prospects to create and deliver new short courses and provide cover for a range of classes within the Vocal Studies department. 

Please take into account that this role mandates a DBS check, as the post holder will be expected to work with vulnerable adults. If you are a passionate and qualified vocal tutor eager to contribute to Morley College's esteemed tradition of vocal education, we encourage you to apply and become a valuable part of our educational community.
