Lecturer in Fashion and Textiles (L3 FDAD)

The opportunity

As a Lecturer in Fashion and Textiles, you'll take responsibility for teaching, curriculum development and on-going scholarship within the Fashion and Textiles curriculum area of the Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at UAL's School of Pre-Degree Studies.

Working collaboratively within a course team, you'll deploy your specialist expertise to develop pedagogy and the curriculum in innovative and critical directions, while providing pastoral support and monitoring the progress and attendance of a year group of students.

The role covers rigorous and fair assessment, academic and pastoral student support, and pedagogic inquiry focused on student engagement, experience and progression. You'll stay abreast of research and developments in your subject area to keep the curriculum at the forefront of critical creative and professional practice, engage with debates on decolonising the curriculum and awarding gaps, and contribute to strategic planning, quality monitoring and course committees across the School.

About you

We're looking for someone with experience of teaching and assessment in a Further or Higher Education environment or equivalent (permanent, fractional or hourly paid), and a relevant undergraduate degree or equivalent experience. You'll be regarded as an authority in your field of specialism, specifically fashion design, with a track record of research and/or professional practice and connections within your subject peer group. Strong, inclusive communication skills are essential, along with the ability to plan and manage resources effectively and work collaboratively across teams. A teaching qualification (PGCert or equivalent) is desirable but not essential. 

We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all students, staff and visitors. As this role requires you to work with children, young people and/or vulnerable adults, a satisfactory Enhanced DBS check is required.
