.
We are excited to offer the opportunity of this post whose focus will be on Learning, Engagement and Wellbeing
, linking to Education and Health & Wellbeing priority areas of the Connection strand.
You will have significant knowledge and understanding of the Scottish museums sector and current issues facing it; and an understanding of education in museums and the role museums can play in supporting health and wellbeing. You will have demonstrable commitment to making Scotland’s museums and galleries accessible to all of Scotland’s communities. With experience of working collaboratively to develop impactful programmes and initiatives, you will work with colleagues across the sector and develop relationships, initiate opportunities and collaborate with individuals working in museums and galleries across Scotland.
As part of the Museum Development Team, you will have excellent communication and collaboration skills.
This role requires someone with skills of empathy, care and collaboration. As well as a keen eye for detail and foresight around opportunities for further development and adaptation of programmes, tailoring to sector needs and sitting alongside the Strategy.

We will guarantee an interview to people with disabilities who meet the essential criteria in our person specification. Please note, we always make best efforts to implement this however there may be occasions where it is not practicable to interview all disabled people that meet the essential criteria for the job. For example if we receive a very high number of applications meeting this criteria.
In this situation we will consider a reasonable alternative approach – for example setting a maximum number of interviews and ensuring that a proportion of interviews are offered to the disabled candidates who best meet the essential criteria for the job.
