Ravensbourne University London is a dynamic institution at the intersection of creativity, business, and technology. Based in London’s Design District in the heart of North Greenwich, we are home to a diverse, global community in one of the world’s most vibrant business and creative hubs.

Background

Our prototyping workshop supports several creative courses across the university, including Product Design, Architecture, Graphic Design, User-Experience and User-Interface Design, and Fashion. Students can access a wide range of equipment and techniques from woodworking and casting through to digital fabrication including 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining.

We are looking for a safety-focused and skilled Workshop Technician to supervise and support the running of our workshop throughout weekday evenings and Saturdays.

Please note: this is a part-time role involving working weekday evenings and Saturdays during term-times only, usually:

• Weeks 1-6 of Semester 1 (Sep-Oct): alternating between 2-3 evenings per week
• Weeks 7-12 of Semester 1 (Oct-Dec): alternating between 2-3 evenings per week, plus every second Saturday
• Weeks 1-6 of Semester 2 (Jan-Feb): alternating between 2-3 evenings per week
• Weeks 7 of Semester 2 to Annual Student Showcase (Feb–Jun): alternating between 2-3 evenings per week, plus every second Saturday

The Role & Candidate

You will have hands-on expertise across digital and analogue prototyping and fabrication techniques, with confidence in a wide range of workshop-based equipment and materials.

Safety oversight is crucial to this role. You must be confident being solely responsible for the workshop during our extended opening hours. This involves supervising and instructing several students using a range of tools and machinery simultaneously and, crucially, being firm and consistent in ensuring they follow strict safety and PPE requirements.

Meanwhile, you will strive to provide an excellent student experience, with a compassionate and positive approach that creates a welcoming and supportive learning environment for students.

You will also play a key role in maintaining in a hygienic, organised and well-presented workshop, taking pride in your working environment and bringing a strong sense of professionalism and healthy perfectionism to the role.

This role would especially suit someone with a daytime practice who is looking for additional work. If you are excited to bring digital and analogue workshop expertise to an evening and weekend role where safety, student support and organisation are equally valued, we would love to hear from you.

Background

Our BA Fashion course is internationally renowned, with a strong heritage and reputation for producing highly employable graduates with a distinctive personal design identity and excellent technical skills.

Our graduate work has been recognised by the British Fashion Council and SHOWstudio, promoting our Class of 2025 press show catwalk at Studio Smithfield. Previous international showcases have included catwalk shows and presentations at London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.

We are looking for a dynamic and highly skilled fashion Technical Tutor to join our Fashion Atelier team in a diverse role that balances excellent hands-on technical tuition with the running of an outstanding fashion production workshop.

The Role & Candidate

With extensive experience in garment construction, and a strong motivation to embed fashion technologies into your day-to-day, you will be just as comfortable demonstrating advanced denim and tailoring construction techniques to a room full of students as you are troubleshooting a large-format digital textile printer or pattern plotter-cutter. You should be excited and motivated to pick up complimentary skills and processes as our facilities and curriculum evolve.

Passing on strong and current garment construction and fashion technologies skills to your students is a key aspect of what you do. You’ll also be driven to support the success of your students, the course, and the university as a whole in dynamic ways – including directly sewing garments and prototypes for exhibitions, competitions and marketing campaigns and collaborating with industry partners as part of our learning with industry strategy.

You take pride in all aspects of your work and bring a strong sense of professionalism and healthy perfectionism to your role. This extends to the Atelier itself, where you will take ownership of its organisation, presentation and safety, ensuring it is a space that reflects the standards of the course and inspires the students who work in it. You genuinely value being meticulously organised and you prioritise safety – an example you are determined to set for your students to help elevate them even further.

If you are excited to blend traditional garment construction teaching with a diverse range of fashion technologies and be a key contributor to a dynamic, technology-forward institution, we would love to hear from you.

The entire interview process should last no more than 2 hours in total.
