It works alongside national and international organisations, contributing to global research, promoting life-long learning, and developing and hosting world-class exhibitions.

The role plays an active part in the creation and implementation of visitor experiences which enhance the Museum visit from concept to production, as well as the delivery of these experiences.

About you

We’re looking for a dynamic and imaginative individual with creative skills to design, evaluate, and deliver engaging public and school programs that ignite curiosity and foster lifelong learning.

The successful applicant will be expected to:

  • Develop and deliver on and off-site creative, innovative, and layered public and school programs.
  • Build these programs in the context of the Museum exhibitions, Collections, research, and expertise for a diverse range of audiences.
