Develop your practice as an early-career creative, supporting others whilst gaining experience and an Apprenticeship qualification as a higher education technician.
We’re looking for creative Art and Design graduates who are ready to combine practical studio experience with structured professional development. In this role, you’ll become an integral part of our studio and workshop culture, supporting and inspiring students as they shape their creative identities, while continuing to develop your own practice.
This fixed-term opportunity is designed to help you build momentum at a crucial early stage in your career. You’ll spend 20% of your time studying towards the recognised Higher Education Technician Qualification, with the remaining 80% embedded within our Technical Resources team, learning from experienced professionals and developing in-demand technical skills.
As both a peer and mentor, you’ll support students to navigate their creative journeys and better understand the realities of professional practice. Simultaneously, you’ll build your own expertise by working alongside experienced technicians, bridging the gap between staff and students, building confidence, skill, and a strong foundation for your future career.
Eligibility for this role requires you to hold a BA in an Art, Design, or Performance related field of study. We’re looking for graduates who have had some time to develop their creative practice outside college. You will also need to have the right to work in the UK for the duration of this role.
