5. If I am not a United Kingdom or European Economic Area national could I still work at the National Gallery?

If you have the correct type of current visa in your passport, yes. Otherwise it is unlikely that you would be able to work for us.

Work permits are not issued to individuals; an application for a work permit can only be made by an employer in Great Britain who has a specific job to offer a named person. The Department for Education and Employment usually only issues work permits for jobs requiring people with degree level or equivalent professional qualifications, people with work experience at a senior level, or for areas in which there is a particular skills shortage. They would also need to be satisfied that the vacancy could not be filled by a United Kingdom or European Economic Area national.
