Lecturer – BA (Hons) Textile Design

Hereford College of Arts is a dedicated arts college with a specialist focus on art, media, design, popular music and performing arts. We have a mission to empower creativity and enrich our world through transformative arts education.  The curriculum includes undergraduate and postgraduate degrees alongside a range of pre-degree college level courses and a wide ranging short course programme.

The College seeks to appoint highly creative and committed individuals to join the Textile Design course team. The BA (Hons) degree explores a broad understanding of textiles through materials and processes, guiding our students toward exciting and diverse roles within the industry.

With a renewed focus on innovation, collaboration and making, the course is looking to recruit team members with substantial professional experience in one or more of the specialist pathways offered within the course (e.g. printed textiles, woven textiles and multi – media textiles with integrated digital technologies). The successful candidates will be expected to contribute to developing the profile of the course and to delivering ambitious professional outcomes.

It is also a requirement that candidates will be demonstrably excellent and innovative lecturers with experience of working within Higher Education and teaching at undergraduate or postgraduate level. The posts include the management, co-ordination and delivery of Textile Design modules on the course as well as supporting the enhancement of the student experience. A postgraduate teaching qualification is desirable, as is Fellowship of the HEA.
