Gallery Assistant

About the Role

The Gallery Assistant plays a key role in delivering an exceptional visitor experience while supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of the gallery. Working across both the exhibition spaces and Front of House, the role combines gallery invigilation, visitor engagement, reception support, and operational assistance to maintain the highest standards of presentation, safety, and service.
