At the end of the first-year students will select a zone of practice to work in during second year, either painting, sculpture or media & performance, all of this takes place in our outstanding purpose built North Light fine art studios. The role will also involve some contextual studies delivery connected to your skillset in the final 3rd unit of the academic year.

You will have outstanding organisational skills and be able to lead making workshops, group critiques, seminar discussions, lectures and one to one tutorials in an engaging and positive manner. Your delivery will primarily be with first year, and you would be working alongside an outstanding first year staff team.

Applicants must have current knowledge, skills and expertise in specific fine art making and thinking processes, we are open as to what these could be so welcome applicants with any discipline interest. You will hold a master’s degree and have relevant educational experience.
