West Dean College has an international reputation for excellence in conservation and creative arts. The College specialises in the practical teaching of conservation (of objects and materials) and the creative and visual arts at post graduate level. The College is part of The Edward James Foundation, a charitable educational trust located on the 6,400 acre West Dean Estate in beautiful West Sussex countryside near Chichester. The College is affiliated to the University of Sussex. We currently have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic conservation professional to be a part time Subject Tutor in Furniture for the academic year 2018/19. 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 Furniture at Graduate Diploma and Masters levels 6 and 7. The Furniture department comprises one of six conversation disciplines offered at West Dean, with courses ranging from Foundation Diploma to MA; validated by the University of Sussex. Subject-specific study within the broad contextual experience of a multi-disciplinary conservation college, a low staff-to-student ratio, extensive workshop time and international profile, contribute to a unique experience. With the course established for over four decades West Dean Alumni are leading practitioners both in the UK and beyond. The ideal candidate for this position will have demonstrable experience in the professional practice of conservation 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, and a professional approach to best practice in workshop and studios.
