SPACE

SPACE runs a successful ongoing internship scheme. Previous interns have gone on to employment with the TATE, London galleries, national arts organisations and permanent positions at SPACE. We provide hands on experience in the arts and the opportunity to gain valuable expertise that will prepare you for the challenges in the arts sector. Internships focus on specific projects tailored to the intern's experience and academic qualifications. The scheme is aimed at people with experience in the arts and pro-active team players. If you think you can commit to at least two days per week, we would like to hear from you.

In return we offer a £10 travel allowance for each day's attendance. Applicants will be given appropriate training to assist them with their tasks, so while good IT skills are preferred, we will accept applications from those prepared to develop their skills in this area.

Strong internship candidates should demonstrate:

Methodical research skills
Excellent planning
Attention to detail
Good communication
