Posted 3 hours 6 minutes ago by Aim Museums
Hours: Full time
Location: Museum of the Home, London, E2 8EA
We are the only museum in the world dedicated to exploring the idea of home-not just as a physical space, but as something shaped by emotions, identity, society, politics, and the environment. We see Museum of the Home as a movement, championing home as a lens through which to understand major global issues and explore possible solutions.
We are looking for a Head of Collections, Programmes and Partnerships to lead work across our collections, curatorial, community, and learning teams, in ways that are bold, equitable and climate active. A major part of the job is leading exhibition and gallery projects, as well as building partnerships to reach wider audiences and strengthen the museum's reputation nationally and internationally. We need someone with strong strategic thinking and a passion for forward thinking museum practices.
The role includes the following key criteria:
- Embedding our vision to share experiences of home to connect people, place and planet.
- Delivering capital gallery development projects - critically engaging with the practice of roomset creation.
- Leading on a dynamic public programme that engages audiences nationally and internationally, including major temporary exhibitions and touring initiatives.
- Forming key partnerships - from academic to social justice - that achieve our ambition to be thought leaders and bring about positive change.
- Confidently acting as spokesperson for our collections and for histories of the UK home over 400 years.
- Championing the role of children and young people in museum spaces.
We are looking for a candidate who brings forward thinking museum practices, strategic leadership and a commitment to equity and climate. If you're an experienced cultural leader looking for the opportunity to support a committed team and make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
