The Edward James Foundation is a charitable educational trust located on the 6,400 acre West Dean Estate in beautiful West Sussex countryside near Chichester, specialising in creative and applied arts. As well as being a respected educational institution, the historic house and collections, the stunning grounds and gardens open to the public, and the year round events and exhibitions make West Dean truly unique.
We currently have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic conservation professional to be a part time Subject Tutor for the Collections Care and Conservation Management (CCCM) Programme. Working within the School of Conservation, the post holder will be responsible for supporting the Subject Leader with the organisation and delivery of subject specialist curriculum for CCCM at Masters level. The CCCM course comprises one of six conservation disciplines offered at West Dean, ranging from Foundation Diploma to MA; validated by the University of Sussex. Blocks of subject-specific study within the broad contextual experience of a multi-disciplinary conservation college, a low staff to student ratio and international profile, and ongoing experience with a working historic house, contribute to a unique experience. The ideal candidate for this position will have demonstrable experience in the professional practice of collections care and conservation management and a broad understanding of materials; with experience of teaching, assessment and administration in higher education. Crucial to the role is also a solid understanding of contemporary conservation theory and practice in collections and collections management.
