Job Position(s): Media & VFX Tutor (Levels 1-3) with After Effects

Allscreens Nationwide Ltd is hiring a Media & VFX Tutor (Levels 1-3) with After Effects based in Salford, Manchester. This role sits within a further education setting where the tutor leads delivery across media theory, film and media production, and post-production editing from introductory through to advanced level. It suits an industry professional with real VFX pipeline or animation studio credits who is ready to bring that hands-on experience into the classroom.

About the Role

The Media & VFX Tutor (Levels 1-3) with After Effects works across a curriculum that spans media theory, practical production, and post-production workflow, giving students grounding in both the conceptual and technical sides of screen industry work. Day to day this means planning and delivering sessions that cover everything from pre-production fundamentals through to compositing and motion graphics using Adobe Creative Suite. The role sits within a college environment that serves learners at Level 1 through Level 3, so the ability to pitch content appropriately across that range is central to the job.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver media theory and film production modules across Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 programmes, adapting content to suit each stage of learner progression.
• Lead practical sessions in post-production workflow including editing, compositing, and motion graphics using Adobe After Effects and the wider Adobe Creative Suite.
• Design and assess VFX and animation projects that reflect current industry standards and production pipeline practices.
• Support learners in developing showreels and portfolio work that demonstrates technical competence in visual effects and film production.
• Track student progress against qualification frameworks, completing coursework marking and assessment documentation to the required schedule.
• Contribute to curriculum review and keep teaching materials current with developments in the animation studio and post-production sectors.

What You Bring

• Demonstrable professional experience in VFX, animation, or post-production, with credits across short form, commercial, or episodic television production.
• Proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Creative Suite at a level sufficient to teach compositing and motion graphics to advanced students.
• Previous teaching or training experience in a further education or sixth form setting is desirable, though not essential.
• The ability to teach media theory alongside practical production skills, covering both the academic and vocational components of the curriculum.
• A formal teaching qualification or willingness to work toward one is an advantage in this role.

Why This Role

Allscreens Nationwide Ltd offers salary on the SCC Teacher Pay Scale on a pro rata basis, with progression available within the band, making this a structured career move rather than a sideways step. The college operates with a flexible working policy, which suits professionals who may still maintain freelance or industry commitments alongside teaching. For a screen industry practitioner looking to move into education without leaving the VFX and film production world entirely, this is a credible and well-supported route.
