Speculative job applications, internships and work experience

Speculative CVs

The Royal Academy runs recruitment campaigns when a vacancy arises. We do not have the resources to file and then refer to speculative CVs against the requirements of each vacancy.

However, on an ad hoc basis, casual positions can arise within our Front of House teams or the Royal Academy Shops. If you would like to be considered for such a position, please send your CV with a covering letter giving your availability and your reasons for applying to recruitment@royalacademy.org.uk or to the address below. Your details will be forwarded to the relevant manager who, if there is a suitable position, will contact you directly.

Please note that speculative CVs cannot be kept for future reference and due to the volume of enquiries, cannot be individually acknowledged. To keep abreast of current opportunities, please check this careers page on a regular basis.

Internships and Work Experience

The Royal Academy does not have a formal internship or work experience programme. Occasionally, however, opportunities do arise to join the Academy to gain experience of this kind. If you would like us to consider you for an internship or for work experience, please send your CV with a covering letter providing us with clear information about the dates you have in mind and the aims and objectives you have in making your application to recruitment@royalacademy.org.uk or to the address below.

Please note: your details will be held for a period of 3 months only and be used solely for the consideration of work experience/internships.
