Do you love museums and have a passion to research collections, and to share stories that are often overlooked or not represented? Do you want to be part of a new cohort of D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent Curators who will drive positive change within museums across England?
Curating for Change is an exciting new initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, providing 18-month work placements for Curatorial Fellows within our host museums. We’re looking for four Fellows who will develop skills relating to museum curation in its broadest sense through activities such as collections management, research, developing audiences in partnership with local communities, and working towards a final exhibition or series of events. We’ll provide support through a bespoke professional development programme, access support and mentoring.
Museums offering placements are:
- National Railway Museum (York)
- Ashmolean Museum/Pitt Rivers Museum (joint placement, Oxford)
- Black Country Living Museum (Dudley)
- Museum of Liverpool
Fellows will be paid a salary of £18,750 per annum based on 35 hours a week. Fellows will also receive a personalised programme of support, training, mentoring and networking opportunities, as well as the opportunity to complete a qualification. All expenses relating to this career development activity will be covered by the programme. If you need to discuss flexible working options, we are open to this and are committed to finding the best ways to ensure Fellows get the most from this experience.
Screen South is running Curating for Change through its Accentuate Programme. Accentuate delivers ground-breaking projects for D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in the Cultural Sector.
