Are you passionate about bringing art to everyone? Do you believe in the power of digital to engage people with the arts? We’re looking for an enthusiastic Ceramics Data Officer to join our friendly and dedicated team.
We welcome and encourage applications from candidates who are under-represented in the creative industries, particularly individuals who experience physical, mental or social barriers to accessing the arts.
Art UK is an art education charity on a mission to make the art in UK public collections accessible to everyone – for enjoyment, learning and research. It enables a global audience of five million people a year to learn about the UK’s national art collection by digitising artworks and telling the stories behind the art. In addition to innovative engagement tools such as Tagger and Curations, Art UK is currently working on new initiatives including a major learning programme, making this a truly exciting time to join the organisation.
The Ceramics Digitisation Scoping programme is a 12-month project, funded by The Headley Trust, to explore adding ceramics collections to the Art UK platform and telling the story of ceramics in UK collections. This project will examine how Art UK can provide a means for people across the world to find and explore ceramics from UK collections.
As the Ceramics Data Officer, you will ideally have previously worked in the data-processing industry, or you will have experience in an archival role in a heritage organisation. You will be comfortable using a range of technology and able to learn new systems quickly.
You will enjoy working with people and be a good communicator. You will be well organised, determined, and full of initiative. You will be interested in art and heritage collections, and be excited about working in a digital organisation that is transforming access to the nation’s art.
