We are looking for someone to join our team of 5 Curatorial & Collections Assistants working within our museums and collections. During the Autumn and Spring terms this post focuses on supporting teaching and research using the Grant Museum collection. At other times the role works cross a range of collections management projects and initiatives in all UCL Culture museums and collections. The right person will be practical with a ‘can do’ attitude and is looking for a role that will allow them to develop their experience in collections care alongside helping to deliver an excellent service to academics, students and researchers.

UCL Culture is a multidisciplinary team committed to connecting the world with UCL through innovative programming and engagement activities. We use our assets in the form of collections, museums, theatre and most importantly our people and know how to mobilise the UCL community, inspiring them to engage people with their research and their research with people. We amplify their work through the delivery of compelling and coherent programmes of events, public engagement activities, public art, performance, exhibitions and permanent museum displays to create cutting edge cultural experiences. We collaborate, light sparks, disrupt and provoke. We use our objects, insights and expertise to reframe questions and surface new ideas. We believe in the power of open because open minds see further.

The Operations team within UCL Culture directly manage our venues (UCL Art Museum, Grant Museum of Zoology, Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology, Bloomsbury Theatre) customer interactions, administration and collections. The Operations team sets the standard in these areas to ensure we maintain a quality, compliant and professional service-orientated approach responding to UCL and UCL Culture strategies.
