Learning Officer

The main purpose of this post is work with the Learning Manager to support the development and delivery of high quality learning and events programmes for all ages at West House and the Heath Robinson Museum.

The learning and events programme is a highly successful full programme which is both formal and informal and provides opportunities across all sectors, disciplines and ability levels. The subjects covered include art, design, creative thinking and gadgets.

Specialist experience or qualifications in art and a practical knowledge of traditional art techniques should be combined with a flexible and creative aptitude to work across all the subjects. There is a strong focus on the development and delivery of programmes for educational institutes, including museum-based workshops, single events, outreach, visits by school pupils and college students, and activities developed in partnership with schools/colleges or other organisations. A variety of informal learning courses /workshops are also an important part of the learning programme, both during the day (adults) and after school/work hours (children and adults) and in school holidays.
