About CRE8

CRE8 – Creative Industry Academy is an innovative and growing education provider offering practical, industry-focused creative courses for young people aged 16–19.

We believe creative education should go beyond the traditional classroom. Our students develop their skills through hands-on projects, real-world industry briefs and opportunities to engage with professionals across the creative industries.

With campuses in Bishop's Stortford and Stevenage, and further expansion planned, we're passionate about providing an alternative approach to education that helps young people discover their creative potential and develop the skills needed for their future careers.

Our students study towards a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice, equivalent to three A-Levels. The course covers a broad range of creative disciplines, including filmmaking, photography, graphic design, digital marketing, podcasting, social media and content creation.

About the Role

We're looking for an enthusiastic, creative and motivated Creative Media Teacher / Tutor to join our growing team.

This is an exciting opportunity for either an experienced educator or a creative industry professional looking to transition into teaching.

You'll be responsible for delivering engaging, practical sessions that inspire students to explore their creativity, develop technical skills and produce high-quality creative work.

Unlike traditional academic courses, our approach is centred around practical learning, creative projects and portfolio development, with no formal exams.

You'll have the opportunity to bring your own creative expertise into the classroom, helping students gain valuable experience across a range of creative disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver engaging, practical lessons across creative media and digital disciplines.
• Teach and support students in areas such as photography, videography, video editing, graphic design, digital marketing and content creation.
• Develop creative projects and industry-inspired briefs that encourage practical learning.
• Guide students through portfolio development and the completion of their BTEC qualification.
• Assess student work, track progress and provide constructive feedback.
• Support students with different abilities, learning styles and educational needs.
• Encourage creativity, independence, teamwork and professional working practices.
• Help students explore progression opportunities within higher education, apprenticeships and the creative industries.
• Contribute ideas to the continued growth and development of CRE8's curriculum and creative opportunities.
