Job Summary
Job Description
Leicester Museums and Galleries has been successful in securing a Development Phase grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund towards a £6m project, ‘Voices of Leicester: a global city’. The Development phase will run from March 2025 – end August 2026. The Delivery Phase will start in April 2026 and complete in June 2030.
The Voices of Leicester project will transform the visitor offer at Leicester’s flagship free-entry Museum and Art Gallery (LMAG) by creating inspiring, diverse and interactive exhibitions that are relevant, engaging, and reflect the city’s people.
Extensive planning has gone into the development of an Outline Activity Plan including consultation, identification of target audiences and priority communities, and discussions with key partners. Further work is now needed to develop, test and detail plans by providing expert advice, support and capacity to the LMAG team to produce a fully costed Activity Plan and Action Plan for submission with the Delivery application.
LMAG is seeking the services of an experienced consultant to conduct additional consultation and testing, and to work with the team to develop and produce a fully costed and detailed Activity Plan with supporting Action Plan. The plan should comply with The National Lottery Heritage Fund (Heritage Fund) Activity Plan guidance and build on the work already done to produce an Outline Activity Plan. The plan should also follow the latest good practices in audience development, community consultation, engagement, and outreach.
The consultant(s) will be expected to work closely with the LMAG team, project partners and other project consultants. The consultant(s) will also be expected to liaise with other project stakeholders as required. The consultant(s) must thoroughly understand a wide range of audience needs and demonstrate a creative, professional approach to consultation with different potential groups.
