It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Development of digital provision is a priority, so you will:
- Work closely with the Digital Lead and Pathway Leader in shaping this aspect of the curriculum.
You will demonstrate:
- Evidence of research, knowledge exchange, and/or professional practice that contributes to innovation in the field of fashion communication.
- Ability to use contacts within your subject peer group to develop partnerships or collaboration.
