About the Role
We are looking for a practical, organised and enthusiastic Photography Technician to support our growing Photography provision within the School of Art & Design.
Working alongside photography lecturers and students, you will play an important role in maintaining our specialist facilities and ensuring learners have access to the equipment, materials and technical support they need to produce ambitious photographic work.
Responsibilities
The role will involve:
- Preparing and maintaining cameras, lenses, lighting, studio equipment and photographic resources

You will provide practical technical guidance to students, helping them use photographic equipment confidently and safely while encouraging them to become increasingly independent.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
Requirements
- Knowledge of DSLR/mirrorless cameras, studio flash and continuous lighting, photographic studios and digital photographic workflows is important
- Experience of darkroom processes, photographic printing, Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom or other specialist photographic processes would be advantageous
We are looking for someone who is approachable, patient, organised and technically confident, enjoys working with young people and can explain practical processes clearly.
This would suit a practising photographer, photography graduate, studio assistant, photographic technician or someone working within the photographic industry who would enjoy supporting the next generation of creative practitioners.
