Who we are

London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA) offers our students a wide range of accredited programmes within the creative arts and contemporary business fields. With a broad network of industry connections, aided by our partnership with University of the Creative Arts and various other industry leading brands, we allow our students to get a real feel for working within the fashion, graphic design and the business space by embarking on a journey which is designed to meet our students’ academic and personal demands.

LCCA offers students a unique industry-centred exposure to get students ready for their next step by adopting blended learning approaches delivered via workshops, lectures, fieldtrips, seminars, hosting sector leading subject-matter renowned experts from around the world and various other networking opportunities - therefore adopting a practical approach in the delivery of our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

At the very heart of our vision is a student-centred learning and teaching methodology which is progressive, forward-thinking, modern, and designed to meet our learners’ needs.

As an Academic Mentor, you will provide guidance and coach students on a wide range of academic and pastoral topics. Often, academic mentoring sessions can act as space for dialogic education, where academics and students can discuss students’ studies and the links of the content to themselves and current events.

Academic Mentors will contribute and develop high quality academic mentoring for a cohort of students, supporting, developing and implementing strategies, which will contribute towards effective learning, behaviour and achievement throughout the students’ time at the College, which then enhances their attendance, engagement and retention.

You will proactively seek to improve attention, progression and achievement figures through contributing to a healthy, safe, happy and challenging environment in which students feel supported and can work hard, free of disruption, develop mutual respect for each other, grow in confidence and achieve their potential.

As part of our operational model, we are looking for candidates to work over the weekend, pro-rata (40 hours per week); part-time appointments will also be considered.

The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills with the ability to support students throughout their journey with us. You will have knowledge of the range of support services available to students and you will be able to adopt an organised and methodical approach to work, to be self-sufficient and self-directed in pursuit of supporting students and achieving targets. You will also have knowledge of awarding body regulations as well as safeguarding to ensure your approach is well within the guidelines at all times.
