West Dean, United Kingdom Southeast Publishing for West Dean College Full time

West Dean College is internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for art, design, craft and conservation education. We are a registered charity focused on the provision of world-class education and preservation of the West Dean Estate.

**Our work**
Our schools of arts, design and conservation offer a uniquely broad range of world-leading courses. At the heart of all we do, is our belief that 'making' makes our lives better. We celebrate the intrinsic value of work that has been hand-made by artists and artisans and challenge the assumption that mass-produced must be the only way because, across the world, the maker movement is growing.

From online courses to postgraduate degrees, our student cohorts reflect the interests, backgrounds, and aspirations of a global community. Guided by experts, who are often leaders in their field, our students are encouraged to develop their practice and reach their true potential.

Our London and Sussex campuses connect our students to the city and countryside, providing inspiring study environments and state-of-the-art studios across all our disciplines, helping to forge collaborations and discover their creative voice.

Whether our students are conserving or crafting, discovering or designing, they make their mark at West Dean.

- Advise Trustees and appointing bodies in advance of the expiry of a Trustee’s term of office, so elections or appointments can be organised in a timely manner.
