Are you a creative practitioner or industry professional with a passion for entrepreneurship and the creative economy?
Brighton MET College is seeking an inspiring and knowledgeable Associate Lecturer to deliver the UAL Level 4 Professional Diploma in Creative Enterprise, a unique qualification that equips students with the business acumen, creative thinking, and professional skills needed to thrive in today's creative industries.

2. Demonstrable experience working within the creative industries, either as a practitioner, entrepreneur, or business professional.
3. Understanding of the commercial and enterprise aspects of creative practice, including business models, branding, client management, and professional development.
4. Ability to communicate effectively with a diverse range of people at all levels, verbally and in writing.
