Interested in pursuing a career in the arts and heritage sector? Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery Trust is looking for talented interns to join the team for month long placements. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for an immersive and diverse insight into the running of a historic house and contemporary art gallery. Pitzhanger offers the opportunity to experience the multiple features of a historic house and contemporary art gallery as well as what it takes to organise events, manage funding and marketing, as well as handle general day-to-day visitor experience. 

Pitzhanger Manor is the Grade 1 listed ‘country’ home of renowned British architect, Sir John Soane, designed and built by Soane 1800-1804 in what was then rural Ealing, West London. Pitzhanger reopened to the public in 2019 following an award-winning £12m HLF and ACE-supported conservation project to restore Soane’s original design and upgrade the adjacent Gallery so it now stages ambitious and acclaimed contemporary exhibitions ranging from Anish Kapoor and Es Devlin to Grayson Perry. With an exciting and diverse programme of exhibitions, events and outreach, the team are setting ambitious targets to extend and develop Pitzhanger’s audience.
