TG1423900 - Collaborative Conservation Skills Internship, Modern Materials
Job Introduction
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated new graduate or mid-career conservator to undertake a 12-month internship within the Sculpture and Installation Art Conservation team. You will focus on one artwork which contains modern materials but is also a kinetic artwork, researching, documenting, and preparing to display-ready condition. Working alongside the Sculpture Conservators and Technicians, you will collaborate with the science teams and external specialists to plan and solve complex challenges to ensure high standards of preservation.
You will hold a recognised qualification in Conservation and be able to demonstrate knowledge/experience treating, researching, and documenting works. You will plan the project with support from the team; mapping out the steps and milestones, condition checking the work, creating a treatment plan, and undertaking research into the artist and materials. Effective communication will be essential, as well as good time management and project planning skills.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will be based at Tate Britain but you will be expected to work across sites including Tate Modern and Tate Stores.
We don’t accept CVs, so please complete all sections of the form, including your education and work history. Use this space to share specific examples of what you’ve done and how you work. Tools like ChatGPT can be useful for exploring thoughts, but we ask that the words you share with us are your own. Responses that feel overly generic or artificially generated may not reflect the individuality we value and could affect how your application is received or result in it being rejected.
Take your time. Be honest. We’re listening.
