Art Handler
5 months ago
Our team of professional art handlers form part of our Exhibitions team and provide a wide range of handling, installation, packing, storage, and collection care services.
We are now looking for an experienced Art Handler to join the team and provide specialist technical advice to the Exhibitions team, working collaboratively at all times.
As part of this role, you will need to be prepared to travel as necessary, as our team are often required to oversee installations at other venues worldwide, ensuring correct procedures are adhered to by contractors and commercial art transport companies.
**About You**
It’s important that you have great written English as this role requires extensive documentation for audit purposes, health & safety and various written reports pertaining to location and tracking of art works.
Exceptional communication and concentration skills are key to this post, as is a flexible approach to working and comfortability lifting, sometimes heavy objects. This role requires a great deal of collaboration with staff across the Royal Academy and will work closely with staff at all levels, involved in the preparation and delivery of projects and ongoing collection care.
- Please note, this role may require you to work out of hours on occasions._
The RA dates way back to 1768 when a group of artists and architects persuaded King George lll to help them to ‘establish a society for promoting the Art of Design'. The original academy, in Pall Mall, was less than 10 meters long. Since then, there have been many changes, though the RA’s core purpose of bringing art and design to a broad audience and championing art and artists still holds true.
Today we are a contemporary art organisation hosting internationally acclaimed exhibitions and through investment in employee training and development, with courses such as Unconscious Bias, LGBTQ+ Awareness, Bystander, and Mental Health First Aid training, we are striving to foster a safe space for everyone through positive action. We also have Employee Network Groups, Ways In Groups, and an Employee Council so every employee has a voice and a way to feel heard by colleagues through the CEO.
The RA is truly a unique place, both as an attraction to our visitors, but also as a workplace. Our people are at the heart of all we do, and we support a broad and inspiring mix of departments; from exhibitions, curators, art handlers, researchers, publishers, and digital to schools and education, visitor welcome, fundraisers, and corporate support.
