Who are we?

Art Fund is the national fundraising charity for art. With over 148,000 members, we are leading the way in pioneering support for an inclusive and welcoming museum and gallery sector across the UK.

We work closely with a network of over 1000 museums and respond to their needs and aspirations. We're excited to see how they want to develop: to expand and diversify their collections and workforce, develop curatorial skills, make ambitious acquisitions, and create a welcoming, inclusive space for communities. With the support of over 148,000 members who buy a National Art Pass, patrons, and donors we can provide grants, encourage visiting and advocate for museums' essential role and value.

We have diversity, inclusion, and sustainability central to our thinking and the opportunity to be a force for good, galvanise support and help change things for the better inspires our team.

About the role

This is an exciting time to join Art Fund. As the organisation prepares to deliver a new five-year strategy from 2027, the Associate Director of People will play a key role in shaping the organisation's people agenda, ensuring it has the culture, leadership capability, organisational design and workforce plans required to achieve its ambitions.

The Associate Director of People provides leadership of the People function, ensuring the delivery of an effective, compliant and customer-focused service across the organisation. The role acts as a trusted adviser to the SMT, Heads of Department and Managers, balancing strategic leadership with hands-on operational delivery in a collaborative and purpose-led environment.

The postholder will lead the development and implementation of Art Fund's People Strategy, strengthen management capability, champion inclusion and wellbeing, and help evolve the organisation's people practices to support future growth, change and organisational effectiveness.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to shape the people agenda at one of the UK's most influential cultural charities. Working closely with senior leaders, you will help build the capabilities, culture and organisational effectiveness needed to support Art Fund's next chapter, while leading a People function that is highly valued across the organisation.

Key Employee Benefits

  • Generous Annual leave – 25 days annual leave and bank holidays, with additional non-contractual office closure dates at Christmas.
  • Free National Art Pass (NAP) – for yourself and another person of your choice.
  • Free Entry to Exhibitions
  • Life Assurance – cover for up to three times your basic salary.
  • Season Ticket Loan
  • Pensions – Eligible employees are enrolled into the scheme with the exception of those who have contracts of three months or less. Art Fund contributes 8% of the basic annual salary during the first six months of employment or until probation is successfully completed, whichever is the later. At that point the contribution is increased to 10%.

Closing deadline: 23.59pm on Thursday 16th July 2026
