Collections Registrar

We are looking for a new Collections Registrar to join our registrar team who support object acquisition, lending, borrowing, and other collections activities across the museum. The next two years will be a busy time for the team as the museum prepares for opening at Smithfield, and the final exit from London Museum Spaces.

Working alongside curators, conservators, collection care and documentation colleagues this post will facilitate and coordinate collections activities such as loan, entry, exit, acquisition, and disposal. This is an exciting opportunity to work with the museum’s extensive collections.

Based at the museum’s London Wall site, but working across its sites and stores, you will carry out tasks with a high degree of accuracy and enjoy solving complex and challenging logistical and documentation issues. You will be organised and self-motivated with the ability to prioritise your own workload. We are also looking for someone who is a committed team player and who has excellent communication skills.

We are looking for candidates who have demonstrable recent experience of working with collections in a registrarial capacity (for example arranging loans and acquisitions) and knowledge of museum documentation processes. Practical experience of using a museum collections management system, handling and packing objects and arranging transportation and insurance for collections will be needed. Additionally, the Collections Registrar will be responsible for line managing a number of Project Assistants, therefore, previous experience of people management or carrying out supervisory responsibilities would be needed.

Applications are by application form. The closing date for applications is Midnight on Tuesday 10 February 2026. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview on Wednesday 25 February 2026.
