If you're looking for academic roles, the UAL internal jobs site has positions for across all six of University of the Arts London campuses.

Jooble

Jooble brings together job alerts from acros 50500 websites. So enter your search term and create an email digest, and you'll be on your way to finding a job you didn't even know you want. It can be tiring searching through pages of listings, but Jooble has a clear UX so you can see the salary, the associated keywords and where the job listing originated from (so you know if you've seen it elsewhere).

Perseverance and passion are the two most important factors to make a successful mark in this competitive industry - but knowledge and varied interests goes an incredibly long way too. Once you decide that your future is in the world of fashion and design, target your efforts in this direction and it won't be long before the right opportunity comes your way.
