The team supports the teaching and learning activities of both staff and students working within the area with practical help and advice as well as providing technical support to the wider School and University events program as required. The appointment comes at an exciting time for the school, with our recent move into our new state of the art Leeds School of Arts building.

All candidates must have excellent interpersonal and communication skills in an end-client environment to provide an outstanding customer focused service and be confident in fostering and promoting creativity while ensuring safe working practices.
