Base pay range
We believe everyone deserves a great Glasgow life and that starts with the people who work here.
Glasgow Life is a charity like no other. Our vision is to improve the lives of everyone in our city. To help us achieve that, we are looking for a Curator (Global Majority) to join our Museums and Collections team. This post is supported by the Art Fund as part of their Empowering Curators programme aimed at supporting the recruitment and development of global majority curators, to address a long-standing equality and diversity issue where this group is greatly underrepresented in the sector. By global majority we mean people who identify as Black, Asian, mixed and/or have been racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’; these groups represent over 80% of the world’s population.
Our teams focus on making a real difference through culture and sport in Glasgow. If you’re excited by the idea of being part of that, this could be the job for you.
What you need to know
Contract type: Fixed Term until 01/12/2028

What you’ll do
As a Curator (Global Majority), you’ll be a part of an established team, reporting to the Senior Curator.
