Organization: Tate London

Opportunity type: Permanent, Part-time

Location: London, UK

Salary: £30,054 per annum (Pro-rata of £37,567)

Tate is looking for an experienced Curator to join the Public Programmes team in the Learning department at Tate London.

You will be responsible, alongside internal and external teams, for the successful development and delivery of ambitious, inclusive and engaging public programme for adult audiences across Tate Modern, Tate Britain and online.

You will join a welcoming team of six staff responsible for a busy seasonal programme of large-scale multi-format public events including talks & discussions, performances, and gallery takeovers. These events aim to connect diverse adult and intergenerational audiences with art, artists and ideas in Tate’s artistic programme and the broader cultural sphere.

The ideal candidate will be knowledgeable and passionate about the intersection of art, contemporary culture and public engagement. You will have substantial experience of devising and delivering programmes of public events in larger scale cultural settings alongside strong management and problem-solving skills.

We are looking for a great team player with expertise in public programming, who is confident in working in fast-paced collaborative environments, while also able to develop their own ideas and projects independently. In this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across Tate, and a broad network of local and international artists, contributors and partners across sectors and disciplines.

Your practice will be underpinned by the core values of diversity and inclusion, led by a breadth of lived experience.

Tate aims to attract and retain talented people from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian, ethnic minority, and/or disabled applicants as these groups are currently underrepresented in the cultural sector.
