Lecturer in Acting and Performance

at  Sheffield Hallam University

THE DEPARTMENT

Film and Theatre at Hallam is a dynamic and supportive community of staff and students, engaged in collaborative practice, with one another, our local communities and our regional arts sector. We have strong links with Sheffield’s cultural quarter, from the award-winning, multi-venue Sheffield Theatres, to a range of smaller fringe and community organisations.
Recent collaborations have involved our students and colleagues in major international arts events, such The Walk, as well as in developing performance work with acclaimed companies, such as The Babbling Vagabonds and Doppelgangster. At the heart of all our work, is our aim to support our students to become Change Makers: the next generation of socially engaged artists.
The Sheffield Creative Industries Institute at Sheffield Hallam University is home to over 50 undergraduate and postgraduate courses and a creative community of over 4,000 students and staff. We offer students a practice-led, research-enhanced learning experience where we challenge our students to achieve impact through their work and push social, cultural, environmental and economic boundaries.
Our graduates are confident, curious, enterprising, and responsive practitioners who recognise cultural diversity and maximise the opportunities their education provides them with. Graduates are world ready and work in careers regionally nationally and globally. They work for themselves in innovative and exciting businesses and for leading organisations, companies and cultural institutions.
We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.
