The Faculty of Arts and Humanities brings together Humanities, Languages, Social Sciences, the Manchester School of Art and the Manchester Fashion Institute (MFI), creating a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment supported by state-of-the-art digital and technical facilities.

About the team:
Manchester Fashion Institute (MFI) is one of the UK's largest specialist fashion providers, recognised globally for its excellence in teaching, research and industry engagement. Our work spans science, the arts, business, health, sociology, sport and digital.

We are seeking a Tutor in Fashion Marketing to join our dynamic team and help shape the next generation of fashion talent and driving our education metrics.

As a Tutor in Fashion Marketing, you will support the School Education Lead, Programme Leader and Module Leads in delivering high-quality teaching and achieving key education outcomes. This includes enhancing student engagement, progression, and differential outcomes while contributing to curriculum development, assessment and feedback quality, and a strong sense of community and belonging across the programme.

You will play a vital pastoral and academic role, acting as a first point of contact for students requiring additional support, offering guidance and signposting to relevant services where needed.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can bring innovative perspectives, industry insight, and a commitment to inclusive, student-centred learning to support a diverse cohort of learners.
