**_Please note, this role is offered on a Casual contract with flexible, ad-hoc work on weekdays, weekends, bank holidays, and public holidays. _**_The Royal Academy of Arts is under no obligation to offer you hours._**

**About the Role**

Our team of professional Art Handlers provides a wide range of services, including handling, installation, packing, storage, and collection care. Therefore, out-of-hours work may be required, and a flexible approach is essential.

**About You**

Ideally, you will have prior experience in art handling for commercial galleries or museums, including the handling and care of both contemporary and historical artwork across all media. Additionally, excellent written English is necessary, as this role involves extensive documentation for audit purposes, health and safety, and various written reports related to artwork location and tracking.

**The Company**

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.
