Loan Store Support Technician

UAL are looking for a reliable Loan Store Technician

In this hands-on role, you’ll maintain and operate the day-to-day running of the equipment loan store facility, ensuring our creative learners and staff have access to the right tools, at the right time, and in excellent condition.

As part of a small, collaborative technical team, you’ll manage the check-out and return of equipment, maintain inventory systems, and provide safe, practical support for staff and students. From photography kits to lighting gear, you’ll help ensure that our equipment is maintained, tracked, and accessible, enabling high-quality teaching and learning to thrive.

This practical role includes some lifting, manual handling, and occasional working at height, and requires strong organisational skills, a proactive attitude, and a customer-focused mindset. You’ll also contribute to maintaining safe working environments, developing equipment guidance, provide basic equipment demonstrations and support technical developments that reflect the evolving needs of the curriculum.

Skills & Experience:

 You’ll bring experience from a technical, creative, or educational environment, and a working knowledge of media and photography equipment. You’ll be confident managing multiple requests, keeping clear records using inventory or asset-tracking systems, and supporting staff and students in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.

 This role will suit someone who is hands-on and adaptable, with an understanding of how to troubleshoot technical issues and a commitment to excellent service. You’ll communicate clearly and patiently, including with students who are new to equipment use, and work well both independently and as part of a team.

 Whether you’ve worked in a loan store, production house, or creative teaching environment, this role offers a fantastic opportunity to support the next generation of creatives at one of the world’s leading arts universities.
