Description

_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
Are you interested in art practice, passionate about learning, and keen to work alongside children and adults to nurture their creativity?


We are currently looking to recruit a pool of Workshop Assistants to support our programme of free, artist-led workshops for families, inspired by the Royal Academy's exhibitions, Collection and unique history.


About You
You will be an artist, maker, or someone with an interest in visual art and art practice.

You will also have a passion for supporting audiences to explore their own creative interests and experiment with artmaking techniques.

You will be inclusive across every aspect of your work — counting everyone as an artist regardless of age, ability, or experience.


This role will involve assisting programmers and artist educators to deliver a series of ambitious, public workshops; at which you will be tasked with preparing the workshop spaces, supporting participants to make art, as well as monitoring and documenting the sessions.


We are looking for proactive and conscientious individuals who will be able to ensure the safe and smooth-running of the events programme and guarantee a meaningful experience for all involved.


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.
