OPPORTUNITIES

Our client, a contemporary gallery based in Margate, is seeking a Gallery Assistant/Associate to join their growing team. Working closely with the Director, the successful candidate will support the day-to-day operations of the gallery across exhibitions, artist liaison, database management, shipping, events, and international art fairs. This is a highly varied role suited to an organised, proactive, and detail-oriented individual with previous experience within a gallery or cultural organisation, strong administrative skills, and a genuine engagement with contemporary art. The position offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of gallery operations while contributing to an ambitious exhibition programme within one of the UK’s most dynamic creative communities. This role would suit a proactive, hands-on individual who enjoys being part of a busy and entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves, work hard and contribute meaningfully to the gallery’s continued growth and success. The position offers the chance to gain broad exposure across gallery operations, work as part of a close-knit team and, where appropriate, travel to art fairs. Working schedule could be either a standard Monday-Friday schedule or a nine-day fortnight. Candidates must be based locally or willing to relocate to Margate. Our client is focused on finding the right cultural fit for the team, with a shared philosophy and strong work ethic. Salary will therefore be commensurate with experience, ranging from an entry-level package in line with the wider art market through to a higher salary for candidates bringing more substantial relevant experience.
