As a jewellery lecturer, you teach jewellery courses in higher education. Beyond your knowledge and ability to work across a range of materials, you have a critical awareness and appreciation of studio culture and issues in the jewellery world – and can share that with students, using innovative and appropriate material and teaching techniques.

While you have responsibility for course admin, paperwork, development and marking, you also create student interest, understanding and enthusiasm, giving them feedback, advice, guidance and – as a personal tutor – pastoral support. You also ensure students with special requirements and mitigating circumstances get the correct support.
