About the role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a new role of Sculpture Conservator within our Conservation team. This role offers the unique opportunity to establish sculpture conservation as a discipline within the organisation.

You'll already have extensive work experience in the museums sector with a recognised post-graduate conservation qualification or equivalent training/experience. To succeed, you'll need to be resourceful, enthusiastic, and possess excellent interpersonal skills, alongside a strong network of professional contacts both in the UK and internationally.

This position is integral to the department, complementing existing conservation specialisms in preventive, paper, paintings, frames, and time-based media. The department has a strong emphasis on keeping up-to-date with developments in the wider profession and fostering a culture of research and teamwork.

Our sculpture collection is diverse, encompassing everything from classical marble busts to contemporary installations. It also involves collaborations such as the Artist Rooms collection, jointly owned with Tate. While you must be confident working across the collection, it's expected that you will bring or develop expertise in a particular area, likely focusing on modern or contemporary sculpture.

Please apply directly via our careers portal. Applications via email will not be accepted.
The deadline is Monday 06 January 2025 at 12:00.
