The Gallery typically offers shifts from Tuesday to Saturday lasting between 4 hours and 6.5 hours while the Museum typically offers shifts on Friday and Saturday lasting 6.25 hours.

Students who are already Assistants working with us are permitted to continue on the programme for one year following their graduation.

We strongly encourage participation from all protected characteristics to achieve fairness of opportunity for all. We fully acknowledge our environmental responsibility and our duty to reduce our impact on the planet through transforming our working practices.
