Working at Tate

We are now recruiting for the position of Assistant Curator, Historic British Art. This position sits within Tate Britain’s curatorial team, which is responsible for delivering the programme of displays and exhibitions of British art, as well as the care, presentation and development of the Collection.

To be successful in this role you will need a degree or a post-graduate degree in art history or a related field and demonstrable relevant work experience working with exhibitions or a permanent collection. You will have a broad knowledge of historic British art, especially of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as well as a willingness to work across the full breadth of the department’s chronological remit and activity. You will understand how Tate Britain’s work can widen participation, and have an awareness of issues of equality and cultural diversity as they affect the work of a major museum.

In addition you will need excellent writing, research and organisational skills. Your well-developed interpersonal skills will enable you to work effectively as part of a team and collaboratively across Tate. You will be able to prioritise your work to meet deadlines, and maintain attention to detail under pressure.
