Collections Content Assistant

You will help to care for our collection. This will include cataloguing objects using our collections management system and auditing data within existing object records, such as updating object locations. You will help to keep our collection safe and accessible through environmental monitoring, hazards management and condition checking. You will take an active role in developing our collection through suggesting items for acquisition and disposal. You will also help with exhibition installation and de-installation.

You will help share our collection. This will include developing online content that promotes our programme. You will use your knowledge of our collection to identify unique stories and put them at the heart of our marketing, socials and website content. You will help to administer and evaluate marketing campaigns using our audience segmentation profiles. You will also host talks, tours and object handling sessions.

You will work across our Collections and Marketing teams, with your time split evenly between the two.

If you meet the essential criteria, you’ll be considered for an interview.

This would be the perfect role for someone seeking to develop their career in museums. Maybe you’ve volunteered or worked in a museum and have a passion for collections management. Perhaps you have a part time role in marketing and would like to take your career in a new and different direction. We are interested in transferable skills from both collections and marketing roles as well experience outside of work.
