We are looking to appoint a Technician Tutor in Fashion to join our team at Epsom.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with the Fashion courses at Epsom. You will collaborate with the Academic team to collectively generate new technical teaching materials, and develop learning activities including workshops.

The fashion studios are a dynamic environment, and the purpose of this position is to support students in their development within these specialisms. Providing technical inductions, demonstrations and workshops on equipment and processes, you will support students to understand, develop and push the creative possibilities of fashion related processes. 

The successful applicant will have knowledge and experience of materials, equipment and procedures associated with fashion, including pattern cutting and sample preparation.

You will contribute to the care and day-to-day operation of the fashion studios including the management and maintenance of specialist equipment and ensuring that the safety of our learners is always maintained.

You will have a competent knowledge and understanding of the H&S hazards associated with fashion equipment and processes, and the maintenance of specialist equipment.

You will also have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to problem solve and apply initiative. Whilst working under pressure, you will be able to demonstrate a positive and flexible approach when working with students and staff. The ability to work as part of a team is essential.

We welcome applications for both a full time and flexible working pattern for this role, for example a 2 day & 3 day per week pattern between 2 individuals, where both roles would be 52 weeks per annum with a combined salary proportionate to the full time role.
