Hayward Gallery – Assistant Curators and Curatorial Assistants, Southbank Centre

In early 2018 the Hayward Gallery will reopen following a period of refurbishment and will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Since its opening in 1968, the Hayward has organised a challenging and unique programme of solo and group exhibitions representing British and international artists and has asserted itself internationally as a unique place to experience contemporary art.

The two-year refurbishment project includes many upgrades and alterations which will benefit our artists, visitors and partners, including letting natural light into Hayward Gallery for the first time, by creating a completely new set of pyramid roof lights.

In preparation for our reopening, we are looking for 3 Assistant Curators and 2 Curatorial Assistant to join the Hayward Gallery Team. Start dates for these posts will range from April to June 2017.

Our Assistant Curators and Curatorial Assistants provide invaluable support to the Hayward exhibition teams, assisting the teams in the planning and development of Hayward exhibitions and other projects.

We are looking for people who are well organised, able to work effectively under pressure and priorities their own workload and have a passionate interest in visual arts. With experience working in a visual arts organisation, you will be able to work well and communicate with a wide range of people, enjoy working as part of a team and have a positive and collaborative approach to work.

Hayward Gallery is part of the Southbank Centre, also home to the much loved Royal Festival Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall. It is a place that unites people through the exchange of ideas, the power of creativity and the imagination and through freedom of expression.  We passionately believe in the power of art, ideas and creativity to inspire, educate and effect change.

We present work for everyone and we welcome applications from everyone. By attracting people to work for us from a broad range of backgrounds with diverse attitudes, opinions and beliefs we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things.
