Camden Art Centre has an exciting opportunity to work within the Exhibitions team as our Assistant Curator.  You will be an exceptional individual, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be comfortable working to deadlines and have some prior experience of working on exhibition organisation in a museum or gallery context, and experience in production of artwork and shipping/registrar duties.  This post is also part of the wider Programme Team, which includes Residencies, Public Programmes, Learning and our Ceramics Studio.

You will provide vital support to the exhibitions team, delivering a fast-paced programme of International and UK art, working with artists of the highest calibre, representing established figures as well as artists at the earliest stages of their careers, often providing a platform for artists at crucial moments in their career trajectories.  This post is central to the dissemination of the vision and content of the exhibitions programme, and ensuring that all activity is delivered to our core values and within budget. As part of a small team there is an opportunity to contribute ideas to a dynamic programme that is responsive to a changing world.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a creative, ambitious individual to grow their career working at one of London’s most influential contemporary visual arts galleries, whilst being part of a supportive and talented team of staff.

We are particularly interested in applications from people from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the museums and galleries sector, including people from low-income backgrounds, people with disabilities, and people from Black, Asian, and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
