JTS encourages staff to develop their skills, pursue learning opportunities, and contribute ideas that enhance our gallery’s programme. We promote an environment where employees feel valued and inspired through meaningful roles and creative engagement.

Respect at Work Respect and inclusion are central to our values. We are committed to ensuring that everyone at JTS is treated with dignity, regardless of their background, role, or experience. We uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination, harassment, or bullying. Our culture is built on collaboration, kindness, and open dialogue to ensure every voice is heard and respected.

JTS maintains an open-door policy, encouraging staff to share their ideas, concerns, and suggestions freely. We regularly hold staff meetings and feedback sessions to ensure everyone’s perspective is included in decision-making. We actively collaborate with our steering group, board, and members of the public to gather feedback and improve our work.
