Tate is committed to promoting public appreciation, awareness and
enjoyment of British art from the 16th century to the present day,

Based within our Collection Care division, you will provide
conservation expertise in the preparation of paintings for loan,
transport and storage off site.  The post holder will treat,
conserve, restore and document paintings in Tate's collection and
care. We'll also expect you to keep up to date with the latest

techniques as required.

Professionally qualified with significant conservation skills,
you'll have proven post-training practical experience in the

gallery, would be an advantage.
