Job Introduction

This is an exciting opportunity to join the ARTIST ROOMS team, delivering the National Touring Exhibition Programme of Tate and National Galleries of Scotland!

As Assistant Collection Registrar, ARTIST ROOMS you will support and coordinate across all aspects of registrarial procedures, spending varied days delivering across loans out, long loans in, documentation, movement, and collection information management, including exhibition planning and delivery in accordance with National Galleries Scotland and Tate policies and to national museum standards

Your experience in a museum environment, proven organisation and planning skills, excellent team working skills and collegiate approach as well as the ability to solve problems pragmatically, creatively and through negotiation, prioritising the care of works sets you apart. You have a positive, flexible approach, and enjoyment of working collaboratively within multi-disciplinary teams and with external partners. You are able to work well under pressure and meet deadlines whilst retaining excellent attention to detail and have the ability and willingness to travel to Edinburgh and partner venues on a regular basis.

Above everything, you will be excited by the challenge of this rewarding role and the contribution you can make towards the realisation of the ARTIST ROOMS programme.

ARTIST ROOMS is a touring collection of international modern and contemporary art jointly owned by National Galleries of Scotland and Tate. The collection reaches audiences across the UK through a national exhibition programme – over 60 million people have visited some 200 ARTIST ROOMS exhibitions that have been shown in museums and galleries across the UK, from Penzance to the Hebrides, and from Belfast to Llandudno over the last decade. We see access to art for everyone as a universal human right and want to welcome audiences that reflect the towns and cities in our nation. ARTIST ROOMS continues to grow and diversify, introducing new artists, collaborations, partnerships and co-produced projects. Touring initiatives enable the national collections to be shared in different ways, from single-venue exhibitions to multi-site touring packages, engaging with large and small organisations in very different contexts, recognising their different needs and those of their audiences. We look for the impact that imaginative collaborations can have on individuals, communities and organisations, and how these enrich the work of National Galleries of Scotland and Tate.

ARTIST ROOMS is operating in an exciting phase, which will see, over the next few years, a shift change in how we work, how we manage the collection and programme and how we provide access to the collection. The catalyst for this is National Galleries of Scotland’s transformative initiative The Art Works, which enables the widest possible access to art to inspire and improve wellbeing and enable more people to enjoy the national collection. The Art Works is a new state-of-the-art home for the national collection, which includes the ARTIST ROOMS collection. The Art Works will also deliver significant wider economic, local community and national benefits. As The Arts Works comes closer to realisation there is a desire to increase operational and collections management presence at National Galleries of Scotland. This role is therefore offered as a fixed term contract based at Tate Modern. Following this period, the aspiration is to rebalance resources between the National Galleries of Scotland and Tate, with a commitment to recruiting a role, to be based in Edinburgh.

This position is offered on a fixed term basis for 22 months.

Please note that this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Interviews for this role will take place on 4 or 5 March 2026

Our jobs are, like our galleries, open to all.

Little Mill Baptist Church has maintained a gospel witness in a small rural village in Monmouthshire for over 100 years. Over the past 15 years the work has developed and grown and now has an active membership of just under 20, but Sunday attendance of around 40. People have joined the church from the immediate community plus others who travel in from the surrounding area. It is made up of a wide variety of ages, backgrounds and cultures. Some members have been in the church for many years, while others have joined more recently, mainly from other churches. We have seen an increase in the number of younger adults and families as well as older people joining the fellowship.
For the past 10 years the church has enjoyed the leadership of two co-pastors. One has now retired and so the church is looking to appoint a part time assistant to complement the pastoral team.
 

Required Skills

We are looking for an enthusiastic man, keen to reach the lost and to increase our engagement with the community where the Lord has placed us. This is an exciting opportunity to help strengthen and grow our church family, encouraging and equipping believers in their faith, while reaching out to the surrounding communities with the gospel of Jesus.
We are looking for somebody with a godly character who reflects the scriptural pattern for eldership, and who senses a call to service and ministry.
We will seek to build on the distinctive strengths within the pastoral team, but responsibilities may include
• A share of the preaching
• Small group ministries
• Pastoral care
• Community outreach opportunities and initiatives and helping the church to strengthen its evangelism
• Ministry specifically focussed on children and young families and schools
 

Suitability:
This opportunity would be suitable for a man with a mature faith who has completed some form of theological training, demonstrated gifting in preaching and is looking for a first or second appointment. Alternatively the post would be open a man coming to the latter stages of his ministry who was looking to work with reduced hours and responsibility. The successful candidate would demonstrate a pastor's heart, be committed to prayer and the teaching of God's word in a variety of formats and settings, and willing to work with others in the Pastoral team to lead and shepherd the church.
Requirements:
• You will have been recognised by your current church as someone with the potential to meet the qualifications of an overseer as set out for leaders in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
• You will have shown evidence of the pastoral heart and aptitude of an under shepherd expressed in 1 Peter 5:1-4.
• You will be continuing to grow in your own personal daily walk and prayerful relationship with the Lord, which will be seen in your character.
• You will have an awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses, can work well with others as part of an eldership team, and be willing to be accountable to others.
• You have a heart to see the Church of Jesus Christ built up and increase for his glory.

Lichfield Cathedral is a warm, lively and historic Cathedral in the heart of England, with a new five year programme of mission and outreach to enable us to bring the good news of the Gospel to the people of Staffordshire, north Shropshire and the Black Country, as well as the many thousands who visit or make pilgrimage each year; and to live out faithfully and joyfully our role as Mother Church to the Diocese.

The Bishop of Lichfield wishes to appoint a Canon Precentor to play a full part in the life and governance of the Cathedral, with particular responsibility for ensuring excellence in liturgy, whilst also being creative and imaginative in enabling those on the edges of faith to be drawn in through our musical, prayerful and worshipping life.

The Bishop welcomes expressions of interest from clergy with at least six years in holy orders, who would thrive in a very hard working yet deeply rewarding, strongly collegiate environment.
