Head of Media

Hours: 36 per week FTE (to include some evenings and occasional weekends)

Location: Chelsea

We have an exceptional opportunity for a new Head of Media to join us at our Chelsea Centre, and without a doubt it’s a fantastic time to join the Creative Industries team, at this specialist centre which is part of Morley College London.

This role will lead the developing Media curriculum that has seen successful introduction of Esports provision alongside its established photography & media production fields.  The Head of Media, with two subject leaders, will lead an academic team supported by technical and administrative centre teams in pursuing growth.

The College was 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. At Morley College London, we provide lifelong learning across three centres – North Kensington, Chelsea and Waterloo – including 16-19 provision at North Kensington and Chelsea. 

The Chelsea Centre has built on its heritage of creative practice with an ambition to be a leading institution for skills education in the Creative Arts and Industries as well as addressing the essential skills needs of the local community.

We are looking for a confident leader thrilled by the opportunity to develop an innovative curriculum in collaboration with other like-minded individuals. Morley is a creative community that has an ambitious vision for new learning opportunities and the transformative potential for creative learning and has committed significant investment  to support this vision.

You will present a compelling vision for the future of Media and lead a team to achieve exceptional and diverse learning experiences for the future careers in these industries.  You will be excited by the opportunity to develop interdisciplinary learning in partnership with other curriculum Heads and collaborating closely with a leadership team leading on key cross centre priorities.
