Jobs

Dundee Contemporary Arts is one of Scotland’s leading contemporary art organisations and aims to enrich people’s lives through culture, creativity and art through our four programme strands: Exhibitions, Cinema, Print Studio and Learning.

We are pleased to offer, funded by Art Fund, two 16-day work experience placements at DCA in our Learning and Print Studio teams specifically for people from global majority backgrounds.

DCA is committed to collaboration, inclusion and equity, and acknowledges the under-representation in the arts and cultural sector of people who are Black, Brown, Asian, dual-heritage, or from racialised ’ethnic minority’ backgrounds. This programme aims to address this issue by offering opportunities to people of the global majority to explore and expand their career through focused paid work experience.

Under Schedule 9, part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, applications for this role will only be accepted from anyone from a global majority background*.

Each placement is for 16 days in total, over an agreed period of time with the expectation that you will work at least one day a week, although in some cases, two days a week will be possible over a shorter timescale.

Proposed dates can be consecutive days or split over several visits – we will work with the selected applicant to create a flexible schedule based on their needs and the requirements of each programme area.

The placements are paid at £12.64 per hour and will take place between mid-January to 31 March 2025.

We acknowledge intersectional backgrounds and identities and strongly encourage applications from those who also identify as disabled, LGBTQIA+ and/or those from working class or lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Application Deadline: Friday 10/01/2025
