  Job Description
The Goldsmiths’ Company is a membership organisation that has contributed to national life for nearly 700 years. We train and support jewellers and silversmiths, protect consumers by testing and hallmarking precious metals, and work with charitable, educational and cultural partners to help improve people’s lives.

The Goldsmiths’ Company’s Collection lies at the heart of who we are. Of world class importance, it includes both historic and contemporary works of art—stunning gold and silver plate, jewellery and art medals. A working Collection, we use it to advertise excellence and innovation within the extraordinary, living tradition of silversmithing which the Company continues to regulate, support and promote into the 21st Century. We research it, teach with it, display it, lend it and talk about it as part of our core identity—as something which tells very human stories about people and their connections with the trade and with the Company.

The Goldsmiths' Company seeks to appoint a Silver Steward who will be responsible for the practical day-to-day maintenance and storage of the Company’s historic Collection of silver, jewellery and medals, and for its security and safety both in and out of storage. The Silver Steward works in the storage area at Goldsmiths’ Hall with the Collection on a permanent full-time basis, including regular evening duties, for which overtime payment will be given and a taxi home organised.

It is an exciting time for our small team as we work on major projects, especially leading up to our 700th year anniversary in 2027. We are implementing our new Collections Management system as a first step towards developing online catalogues and exhibitions on our website, making our treasures fully discoverable to a global audience.

The ideal candidate will be someone who is highly organised, flexible, reliable and responsible in working to the highest standards. All members of the team are necessarily based at Goldsmiths’ Hall; this post requires full-time working physically at the Hall five days a week.
  Application Instructions
We are offering a competitive salary, plus benefits package. If you would like to know more about either role, see the job description below or download the details from https://www.thegoldsmiths.co.uk/company/today/press/vacancies/ . Then, if you believe that you have the required skill set and experience to fulfil the relevant role at the Goldsmiths’ Company, email us at jobs@thegoldsmiths.co.uk with your CV and a covering letter (no more than a page) detailing how you meet the requirements of the role.

The closing date for applications is midday on Monday 29th September 2025. If you are successful in being shortlisted, we will be in touch shortly after the closing date. Please note that the role will require a DBS check.

Interviews will be held at Goldsmiths' Hall, Foster Lane, London EC2V 6BN on Tuesday 7th October.
