Blackburn College is one of the largest and most successful colleges in the Northwest. The School of Creative & Digital includes a dynamic Arts School which is a centre of excellence with (UAL) University of Arts London and a Leadership College with Creative & Cultural Skills.

We offer an expanding curriculum providing a wide range of learning opportunities for people wishing to work within the Creative Sector including Art and Design, Graphic Design, Textile & Fashion Design, Photography, Games Art & Concepts, Media and Music.

Drawing from the figure is a classic, traditional art skill and weekly classes are held for our students to learn and improve drawing techniques, whilst building portfolios.

We presently require life models for figure drawing to sit for students on Art and Design pathways. We are seeking to create a varied range of models to enhance the student experience and welcome applications from people from all walks of life.

All sessions are taught by a College Lecturer in closed private studios. Modelling experience is not essential, but you should: -

have a mature and professional attitude
be willing to pose both unclothed and clothed
have an ability to take direction for short and long poses as necessary
be extremely reliable and punctual in attending the agreed booked sessions
be available for occasional evening work for commercial courses if required

You must be willing to undergo a DBS criminal record check and register for the DBS update service which will mean that your DBS is fully portable for any employer and does not expire if you have a period without work. This will enable you to remain on our ‘Bank’ of Life Models.

If you are self-employed you will need to meet IR35 regulations. Public Sector organisations are required by law to take deductions from any pay unless you have verified self-employed status. This will be checked by our Finance Department on receipt of invoices from you.

As an individual you will be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
