We’re looking for passionate, forward-thinking Lecturers in Business and/ or Hospitality Management to join our growing academic team in September 2026.
If you’re an inspiring educator who can connect academic theory with real-world business or hospitality practice — and you’re committed to inclusive, hands-on learning — this is your opportunity to shape the next generation of future leaders at a dynamic, industry-connected college.
About the Programmes
At London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA), we deliver innovative programmes designed for diverse learners—from those beginning their journey at Level 3 to those preparing for management and leadership roles.
The Foundation School is one of the largest and most vibrant departments in the College. We offer a variety of Foundation Degrees, as well as providing critical Level 3 entry point for students progressing into a wide range of degrees across Social Sciences and the Creative Arts.
We are currently recruiting for lecturers to teach across: Foundation Degree (FdA) Applied Business Management, Foundation Degree (FdA) Hospitality and Event Management, and Level 3 Foundation Year Business and Hospitality Pathways:
As part of the Global University Systems (GUS) network and in partnership with the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), LCCA blends theory with real-world experience through experiential learning, live briefs, and industry collaboration.
The Role
You’ll play a vital role in shaping learning experiences across Foundation Year and Foundation Degree programmes — inspiring students through applied, inclusive, and reflective teaching.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
