About the Herbert

Work at the Museum

The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum is part of the Culture Coventry charitable trust. Occasionally we need to recruit new staff to the team, and we look for self-motivated and forward-thinking people. Even if you are based behind the scenes, you need to be comfortable working with or around visitors in an environment where creating the right atmosphere is everything. Everyone in the team plays an active part in delivering our fantastic attraction to visitors.

All of our vacancies can be found listed here when they arise, but if you can’t wait to get involved why not click here to see our Volunteering Programme.

People from Black, Asian and Ethnically Diverse backgrounds, disabled, deaf and neurodivergent people are underrepresented in our workforce, so we particularly encourage applications from candidates in these groups.

 

Current Opportunities:


HAF Summer Programme | Artist Callout for Workshops

Culture Coventry have been an activity provider for the Coventry Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) since 2021. At the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, we deliver Art Masterclasses to children aged 11-16 years old with the aim to:

  • Enhance their art skills
  • Open up new opportunities
  • Access resources they are unlikely to have at home
  • Learn from and be inspired by working artists
  • Connect to the museum collections and exhibition through creative means

For Summer 2025, we are seeking artists to deliver workshops along the theme of Sustainable Summer. Workshops may also be inspired by our two upcoming exhibitions.

Successful artists will be paid £250 workshop delivery fee, plus £100 for material costs.

You are welcome to submit more than one workshop proposal. Over the summer holidays we will be delivering 12 unique workshops for children and young people throughout August.

Please submit an outline and proposal of your workshop, of no more than 500 words. Supporting images are welcome. 

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: Sunday 8th June 2025, 10pm
