We're looking for a warm, practical and curious person to join our small team at an exciting and important time for The Tim Stead Trust.
The Steading is no ordinary place. Once the home and working environment of artist, sculptor and furniture maker Tim Stead MBE, it is now a Category A listed building housing an extraordinary collection, archive and evolving programme of exhibitions, learning and public engagement.
As we embark on an ambitious five-year journey to conserve, create, grow and dream, we're looking for someone who enjoys working with people, cares about places and isn't afraid to get stuck in.
Working closely with our Director, you'll help care for The Steading, welcome visitors, deliver tours, support exhibitions, assist with collections documentation and contribute to the everyday activities that keep our charity moving forward.
Experience in arts, heritage or collections is welcome, but so is transferable experience, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
The details:
Fee: £4,320 (£15 per hour)
Hours: 24 hours per week over 12 weeks
Location: Primarily onsite, Blainslie, Scottish Borders
Essential: Driving licence and access to a vehicle
Application deadline: 22 November 2026, 5pm
To apply, send your CV and a short covering letter to director@timsteadtrust.org.
We'd love to hear from you!
