Chapel Operations Assistant

2 days ago

Newbury, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

At Sandham Memorial Chapel we work as a small team to care for the incredible 20th century chapel that houses a collection of custom-made paintings by Stanley Spencer. As a team, we work closely with visitors and volunteers to help visitors learn about Sandham and the paintings within.

Please be aware that this role is based at a property in a remote location, with limited access to public transport. Although we are only open 4 days of the week during the open season, we have someone on site every day, so a combination of weekend and weekday working is required.

What it's like to work here:Sandham Memorial Chapel was completed in 1926 as a war memorial for the Great war, focused on the memories of Stanley Spencer’s time in Salonika and his time as an orderly in Bristol.

Stanley Spencer was a British artist who grew up in Cookham, near the Thames and is well known for his paintings depicting biblical scenes. At Sandham we have 19 painting by Spencer that depict his memories of his time in the army and one of his famous resurrection pieces. The chapel was built for these paintings and is an incredibly significant memorial to the First World War.

The role of Chapel Operations Assistant reports to the Site Manager and you’ll be working alongside another Chapel Operations Assistant and our volunteers, as well as team members within the wider portfolio.
