Flexible Work | 1–5 Days Per Week | Ideal for Fashion & Photography Students

Our client is one of the UK's largest multinational retailers, specialising in clothing, footwear and lifestyle products, both online and on the high street. They have exciting opportunities for flexible Temporary Studio Assistants to join their busy fashion photography studios.

The Opportunity

Are you studying fashion, photography, fashion styling or a related creative subject? Perhaps you're looking for flexible work that fits around your studies or other commitments?

This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience working behind the scenes in a busy, professional fashion photography studio.

The work is offered on an ad hoc temporary basis, with opportunities ranging from 1 to 5 days per week, depending on studio requirements and your availability. The arrangements are fully flexible, making this an ideal opportunity for students or anyone looking for varied, flexible work.

The Role

Working primarily within the studio warehouse environment, you will play an important part in ensuring clothing, footwear and fashion accessories are organised, prepared and ready for photography.

You'll work alongside Studio Assistants, Prop Stylists, Photographers and Studio Coordinators, helping to keep the studio running smoothly and ensuring products are available when needed.

Attention to detail is essential, as is the ability to work quickly, follow instructions and respond positively to requests in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Work as part of a team alongside Studio Assistants, Prop Stylists, Photographers and Studio Coordinators.
• Receive, unpack, sort and organise clothing, footwear and fashion accessories ready for photography.
• Prepare garments and fashion items for studio shoots, including checking condition, removing packaging, steaming and ensuring items are presented to the required standard.
• Organise clothing rails, accessories and footwear in preparation for photography sessions.
• Ensure all samples are correctly scanned and recorded when moved or relocated, maintaining an accurate audit trail.
• Use the studio database to register and track fashion samples moving between the warehouse and different studio locations.
• Carefully pack and wrap samples following photography, ensuring items are protected and returned to the correct location.
• Assist with transporting samples between studio locations when required.
• Maintain a clean, tidy and organised working environment.
• Take responsibility for your own health and safety and that of colleagues, reporting any hazards, incidents or accidents.
• Follow all relevant health and safety procedures.
• Assist with additional duties as requested by the Senior Studio or Production Coordinator.

About You

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, reliable and happy to get involved. You don't necessarily need previous studio experience, but an interest in fashion, photography or the creative industry would be a real advantage.

You'll ideally have:

• A friendly, helpful and professional manner.
• A positive, flexible and proactive approach to work.
• Good organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Some experience of data entry or using computer-based systems.
• The ability to work well under pressure in a busy environment.
• A flexible attitude and willingness to respond to changing priorities.
• Good practical skills and the physical fitness required to lift, carry and move studio samples.
• An understanding of health and safety in the workplace.

Previous experience in fashion, retail, warehousing or a photographic studio would be advantageous, but enthusiasm and the right attitude are just as important.

Additional Requirements

• Candidates must be aged 18 or over.
• A driving licence is not essential, although the ability to drive may be useful when transporting samples between studio locations.
• A genuine interest in fashion, photography or the creative industries would be an advantage.
