The opportunity
This exciting part-time opportunity is a chance to bring your professional expertise and teaching experience to the BA (Hons) Bespoke Tailoring course and help develop the next generation of tailoring and fashion practitioners.
Working collaboratively within the course team, you will contribute to teaching, assessment, curriculum development and scholarly activity, sharing your knowledge of bespoke tailoring, cutting, garment construction and contemporary fashion practice.

Providing both academic and pastoral support, you will help them to develop exceptional technical skills alongside creative and critical approaches to tailoring, encouraging them to challenge convention and develop their own professional identities.

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.
About you
You will have strong professional or academic expertise in bespoke tailoring or a closely related area of fashion practice, together with experience of teaching and assessment in a higher education environment, or equivalent experience.
Your teaching and assessment experience may have been gained through a permanent, fractional, hourly paid or visiting academic role, or through another relevant educational or professional setting where you have responsibility for supporting and assessing learners. We welcome applications from both experienced higher education educators and established tailoring or fashion practitioners who can demonstrate relevant teaching and assessment experience.
You will also have a relevant undergraduate degree or equivalent professional experience and be able to demonstrate a strong record of teaching, professional practice, research, knowledge exchange or other activity that contributes to the development of the subject.
