The opportunity
Central Saint Martins is internationally recognised as one of the world's leading centres for fashion education, creativity and innovation. As our new Technical Coordinator: Fashion, you will play a key role in supporting the technical delivery of our renowned Fashion programmes, helping students develop the practical skills, knowledge and confidence to realise ambitious creative work.
Working closely with academic staff, technical teams and students, you will lead the day-to-day coordination of specialist fashion technical resources, workshops and facilities across garment and textile technologies. You will oversee technical operations, manage and develop technical staff, contribute to curriculum delivery, and ensure that our specialist environments support an exceptional student experience.
This is an opportunity to combine your technical expertise, leadership skills and industry knowledge within a dynamic and collaborative creative environment. You will work alongside colleagues from across the College to help shape technical provision, explore emerging technologies and enhance the delivery of technical teaching and learning.
As fashion continues to respond to the environmental and social challenges facing the industry, you will also have the opportunity to support the development of sustainable technical practices, helping students engage with responsible approaches to design, making and production. If you are passionate about technical excellence, innovation and supporting the next generation of fashion practitioners, we would love to hear from you.
Tours are available on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th October and can be booked by emailing Jessica Kilpatrick, at: [email protected]
