Art Technician

We are seeking an experienced Art Technician to play a key role supporting the Art Department.

You will assist the Art Department in all aspects of preparation and in-lesson support and take a lead role in managing the department’s specialist art materials and equipment for printmaking (acid etch, screen printing, relief printing), ceramics, painting, photography and sculpture.

The working hours are 30 hours per week to be worked Monday to Thursday, 7.5 hours per day, during term time only (35 weeks per annum).

A degree-level qualification in a visual art or printmaking-based subject (or experience that demonstrates equivalent abilities) is required.

You will also need experience of supporting art workshops or teaching in an academic environment.

A basic knowledge of technical art requirements in schools is equally important.
