Current Vacancies

Exhibitions and Loans Assistant

Part-time – three days per week (0.6 full-time equivalent)

Fixed-term contract (18 months)

Salary: Grade 4, Step 1: £25,866 pro rata

We are looking for an organised, enthusiastic and hands-on Exhibition and Loans Assistant to support the Exhibitions and Loans Manager in delivering the loans and exhibitions programmes and support collections management procedures.

Our galleries are currently closed to the public and undergoing the first phase in a £10 million building improvement programme. The postholder will also support the Barber’s Collections team in the preparation for reopening in 2024, as well as in the planning and preparation for Phase 2 of the project, which will involve a major decant project.

Owing to the tight timeline of the planned refurbishment, we require the postholder to bring relevant skills and experience that will enable them to undertake the required duties immediately.  Therefore, we are seeking someone with relevant experience working in a museum or similar environment, ideally in registration, collections care or exhibitions planning.

This is an exciting time of change at the Barber and an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to enhance their skills in museum registration and collections care.

The postholder will be based here at the gallery. This is a fixed-term role for 18 months, working three days per week.
