The Role
London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA) is seeking five dedicated and experienced Subject Leads to provide academic leadership for business modules within our Foundation School.
The Subject Lead is a key academic role responsible for the design, delivery, and quality of specific modules. You will ensure that your modules are intellectually stimulating, industry-relevant, and pedagogically sound. Whether you are supporting students at the start of their journey at Level 3 or guiding them through their professional development at Level 5, your focus will be on maintaining high academic standards and driving student success.
While this role does not involve direct line management, you will provide the "academic North Star" for your modules—coordinating with Module Coordinators and lecturers to ensure a consistent and high-quality experience for every student.
Key Responsibilities
- Academic Leadership: Lead the vision and coherence of your assigned business modules, ensuring they align with programme specifications and industry expectations.
- Curriculum Design: Develop and maintain high-quality teaching materials, structured delivery plans, and VLE content that meet rigorous academic standards.
- Assessment & Feedback: Design innovative and robust assessments, including marking schemes, and ensure students receive high-quality, developmental feedback.
- Quality Assurance: Oversee standardisation and moderation processes to ensure fairness and consistency across all delivery groups.
- Student Success: Use data (including NSS feedback and B3 indicators like retention and progression) to identify areas for improvement and implement enhancements.
- Team Coordination: Work closely with delivery teams and Module Coordinators to ensure the curriculum is taught effectively and consistently.
