Job Summary

The Rory Young House is a new charity set up to create and launch a museum dedicated to conservation and craft experience in Cirencester. The founders now wish to strengthen the Board, by making two Trustees appointments in particular skill areas.

Job Description

We are seeking two individuals to bring key skills to the Board and are keen to hear from candidates with relevant experience.

The first one, here, is in communications – marketing, digital engagement and PR to strengthen the charity’s public profile, broaden its reach, and increase awareness and impact.

The second, see our other advertised position, is in museum curation, heritage interpretation, and visitor experience to help guide the charity’s work in conserving, presenting, and sharing the RYH with the public.

Trustees are normally appointed for an initial term of three years. As it can take time to settle into the role and make a meaningful contribution, we ask that applicants feel able to commit to at least this period. Trustees may be reappointed for up to three terms, for a maximum of nine years of service.

How much time will I need to devote to being a Trustee at RYH?
In a typical year, Trustees are expected to:
– Attend approximately four Board meetings per year (around two hours each)
– Read papers and prepare in advance of meetings
– Take part in additional meetings or discussions, online or in person
– Attend events, e.g. fundraising, when possible

We anticipate the time commitment to total around 3-4 days a month.

Job Requirements

Desirable experience in several of these fields:

Strategic communications: Experience developing and delivering communications strategies that support organisational objectives, enhance reputation, and increase public engagement.

Marketing and audience development: Experience in creating marketing approaches to attract visitors, supporters, volunteers, donors, and partners, with an understanding of audience needs and motivations.

Digital marketing: Practical experience using digital platforms, websites, social media, email campaigns, and online content to increase reach, participation, and engagement.

Content and storytelling: Experience in developing content that communicates the importance of conservation work, craft skills, and the charity’s impact.

Education experience to help us develop a narrative around special educational needs and develop relevant networks

Public relations: Knowledge of media relations, press engagement, storytelling online and in traditional media.

How to Apply
