Are you a skilled garment technician who thrives in a creative studio environment? Do you love supporting emerging designers as they turn concepts into beautifully constructed garments?

We’re looking for a hands-on, industry-experienced Fashion Technician to play a vital role in shaping the next generation of fashion talent.

Why Join Us?

At London College of Contemporary Arts, creativity and industry relevance go hand in hand. You’ll work closely with the Course Director and Subject Leads, supporting students across Levels 4–6 while helping maintain a professional, industry-standard studio environment.

This is more than a technical support role — it’s an opportunity to influence learning, raise standards in construction and tailoring, and bring current industry practices directly into the classroom.

The Role

• Provide practical, hands-on support in pattern cutting, garment construction, draping, tailoring and finishing techniques.

• Deliver and support construction and sampling workshops.

• Create technical samples and step-by-step learning guides.

• Support students in overcoming technical challenges during timetabled and open-access sessions.

• Maintain and develop the pattern cutting block library and toile archive.

• Ensure all industrial sewing and pressing equipment is safe, maintained, and ready for use.

• Oversee fashion studios, ensuring health & safety compliance and high studio standards.

• Manage studio stock, fabric supplies, petty cash, and inventory.

• Support exhibitions, fashion shows, open days and college events.

• Embed current industry developments into the student learning experience.

• Maintain strong links with professional networks and suppliers.

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• BA in a relevant subject or equivalent professional experience.

• Strong pattern cutting, garment construction and tailoring expertise.

• Experience working as a garment technician in a professional studio or university.

• Confident using industrial sewing machinery and pressing equipment.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to give constructive, supportive feedback.

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage studio resources effectively.

• Commitment to equality, diversity, safeguarding and health & safety.

Desirable:

• Digital pattern cutting (e.g., Gerber).

• Clo 3D.

• Adobe Illustrator for professional technical drawings.

• Screen printing or domestic knitting machine experience.

• Experience teaching or supporting pattern cutting and garment construction.

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

• Care deeply about craftsmanship and technical excellence.

• Enjoy mentoring and supporting diverse learners.

• Take pride in maintaining professional studio standards.

• Stay curious about innovation in construction and garment technology.

• Work well collaboratively while managing your own priorities.

What You’ll Gain

• The opportunity to shape future fashion professionals.

• A collaborative, creative academic environment.

• Exposure to industry-facing events and exhibitions.

• A role where your technical expertise genuinely makes an impact.
