Job Description

Are you an academic leader ready to bridge the gap between institutional strategy and student achievement? Regent College London is looking for a Senior Lecturer in Business who can inspire a team while keeping a firm hand on academic quality. Based primarily at our Wembley and Kingsbury campuses, you will be the driving force behind a business curriculum that is as inclusive as it is rigorous.

This is a “people-first” leadership role. Half your time will be spent empowering your students to navigate their learning journeys, and the other half will be spent empowering your colleagues to deliver their best work. We are looking for someone who understands that in 2026, “Business Education” means being digitally fluent and culturally aware.

As part of the Regent Group, we offer an environment where “curiosity and imagination” are rewarded. If you have the Master’s degree, the management experience, and the drive to shape the next generation of global business leaders, we invite you to apply.

Regent College London: The Technology-Enabled Pathfinder

Regent College London (RCL) is a fast-growing private higher education institution and a core part of the Regent Group, an education and investment conglomerate founded in 2010. RCL distinguishes itself through its “Thinking into Character” (TiC) philosophy—a unique personal development program integrated into the curriculum to foster mindset and resilience. In 2026, the college is in the midst of an ambitious strategic pivot to become the UK’s first truly technology-enabled British university by 2030.

The culture at RCL is characterized by radical flexibility and student-centricity. Unlike many traditional universities, RCL caters specifically to “career-builders” and mature learners, offering condensed timetables (daytime, evening, and weekend classes) and multiple intakes throughout the year (e.g., April and September). The environment is intensely diverse, with over 10,000 students representing more than 85 nationalities.
