Position at Historic Royal Palaces

Textile Treatment Conservator
Hampton Court Palace

Temporary contract - 12 months

Once upon a time, it was royalty who admired the magnificent objects
within the five historic royal palaces.  Today, it is visitors who

exhibits.  To save these priceless artefacts for future generations,
we need someone to join our team of highly skilled textile
conservators

Having attended a recognised textile conservation training programme
(or equivalent), you'll have an in-depth understanding of the
techniques involved in conservation treatments and you'll have the
ability to take on hands-on treatment projects as required in our
textile treatment teams: Tapestry, Furnishings and Costume and
General Textiles.

You will be part of a team and report to the Treatment Conservation
Supervisor.  Working with extremely fragile objects, both in the
studio and within the palaces, you must be able to work at heights.
Based at Hampton Court Palace you may be required to travel to our
other palaces on occasion.
