Job Description

LCCA is a contemporary institution, offering a range of programmes. Our students embark on a journey which is designed to meet their academic and personal demands. At the very heart of our vision is a student-centered learning and teaching methodology which is progressive, forward-thinking, modern, and designed to meet our learners' needs.



Our academic team consists of modern, progressive, professionals who have what it takes to motivate students from a variety of backgrounds, to inspire belief in students who are striving for professional and personal recognition and to drive students towards successful lives.



You will have a distinct skill set; a 'can-do' attitude - and should demonstrate the consistent ability to put the core elements of our learning and teaching philosophy into practice, both in the strategic implementation of experiential teaching activities and in the management of high-class teaching delivery.



The underpinning philosophy of LCCA is as follows:



Through experiential teaching we aim to provide students with a 'real-life' skill set which is transferable out of the classroom and into the world of work. Through 'chunked learning' we aim to ensure students are thoroughly engaged and motivated by their teachers. Through 'deliberate reflection' we aim to get students thinking about their role in the learning experience and to embed their knowledge for future use. Through regular and precise feedback, we aim to offer students ways to improve their skills and knowledge on a daily basis.
